Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Sputnik had an unpleasant outburst toward the first dog we passed on the trails this morning, and then Coco joined in with him to send off the next dog we passed.  I had walked the pack a few paces off the trail after seeing the mood Sputnik was in from our first encounter, but the next passing dog stopped and lingered for a moment to sniff hello to Ruffers and Thompson, who were standing by the edge of the trail.  I sternly reprimanded Sputnik and Coco for their unfriendly behavior and they didn't act out again when we passed other dogs later in the hike, though we also kept a wider berth to be safe.

Play Pack

Coco was immediately focused on me when I scooped up a tennis ball with the Chuckit shortly after arriving at the park.  Ruffers ran over after watching Coco chase down a couple balls and then the two of them enjoyed a good wrestle.  Ruffers ran around with a playful group a little later on in our visit while Coco stuck by me and played lots of fetch, occasionally enjoying bouts of play with her packmate.
