Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Sputnik had another day of very good behavior as he didn't growl or even stare at any of the other dogs we passed on the trails.  Rucksack was actually the most intensely focused on passers-by out of the whole pack but he has always been good at greeting other dogs in a friendly and non-confrontational way.  Oliver has gotten more used to walking at my side now rather than staying well behind his packmates or walking ahead of the group.  He was also perfectly comfortable drinking form the CamelBak spout; however, Benny tried to push in on Oliver's turn to drink and I had to tell him several times to wait his turn and let his little brother drink.

Play Pack

Benny was very excited to see our packmate Milo when we arrived at the park today, and Milo was equally enthusiastic to greet his friend.  Meanwhile, Sadie enjoyed sprinting thorugh the park with a small group in pursuit.  When she had enough, she parked underneath a chair to let the other dogs know she was done.  Isaac practiced high-fives in between fetches today.  Thompson lingered at the center of the park when the rest of us headed to the grassy area in the back but eventually he followed and then stayed with the pack for the rest of our park visit.  He enjoyed a good scratch from me, especially when I worked on his left shoulder and he leaned into it with a big smile.
