Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Roger Roger has continued to be vocal about passing dogs when the other dogs seem excited themselves.  This spurred Sputnik on to a brief growling fit, but he let it go quickly and didn't join in at all well Roger Roger started barking again at another dog who followed.  Benny stopped in place now and then and I encouraged him to keep up so he could walk on the far side of Roger Roger to act as a buffer between his young packmate and passers-by.  Rucksack practiced more mindful walking as I had Oliver take a place just before him and I kept reminding Rucksack to follow his little packmate instead of walking past him.  Oliver was uncertain about his position in the lead at first but settled in once Rucksack started respecting his space. 

Play Pack

Sadie played with her friend Scruffy, although they took long breaks in between short bursts of activity.  Thompson, Milo, and Benny all just sauntered around at a leisurely pace and took long breaks to sit or stand in place and stare out at the park.  I don't think any of them particularly enjoyed the mud.
