Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

We came across a hiker today whom we frequently see on the trails.  He used to hike with his Golden Retriever before she passed away, and he is always happy to see the pack.  Benny went right up to him to say hello, followed by Sputnik and Milo.  Oliver was lingering behind to sniff around the trail but when he caught up he went up and said hello as well, while Milo lied down to take a rest.  The pack has been visiting the trails so regularly for so long now that we come across a lot of familiar faces on our hikes, and the dogs are always excited to see someone they recognize.

Play Pack

Thompson and Ruffers were both eager to get going on the walk this afternoon, while Coco, Mamacita, and Isaac were calmer and followed my lead better.  As we went, Ruffers and Thompson eventually settled into pace and became easier to manage.  We came across a young Burnese Mountain Dog puppy who walked right up to the middle of the pack as we approached.  The pack hesitated only briefly to get a passing sniff as we washed over the forward and fearless pup, who turned and watched us go with a look of bewilderment, then started to follow us before he was called back by his amused guardians.
