Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Sputnik was a little less fiesty when he was off the leash with Coco this morning.  They still chased and dodged with each other, but Sputnik didn't go on any long sprints that left Coco in the dust.  Meanwhile, Clover walked very nicely on the leash and Monarch was in a bit of a pulling mood, though she did better when I repositioned them so that Clover was walking at the outside and Monarch was walking between us.  Monarch requires little coaxing to get her to drink from the CamelBak now, though Clover again chomped awkwardly at the air and backed away as soon as I brought the spout near her face.  Sputnik had a very calm and friendly greeting with one happy miniature Cattle Dog who made playful moves with Coco and also sniffed hello with Clover and Monarch as we crossed paths.

Play Pack

Ruffers had fun running with one very energetic Husky at the dog park this afternoon.  Thompson also had fun hopping around with that Husky and another who all milled around together at the concrete pad in the center of the park.  Isaac rushed in to give a chest-butt every now and then when he wasn't occupied with finding his tennis ball in the snow.  Coco chased down the tennis ball some, too.  I was careful to make sure the ball got to the ground before it reached them because it was partially frozen and very hard, and would have been quite unpleasant to try to catch mid-air.
