Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Sputnik is always the most curious of the pack as he stops frequently to sniff out spots that interest him, and tends to try to pull off to the side of the trail in pursuit of scents.  Today was no exception.  Coco only stopped occasionally to check out her packmate's finds.  Most of the time, she just hiked along in pace right behind me and waited next to me while Sputnik did his thing.

Play Pack

Roger Roger gave Isaac some competition in playing fetch today, and managed to come away with the ball some of the time.  When Isaac got to it first, Roger Roger barked his frustration, occasionally earning a sharp retort from Isaac.  While Isaac schooled Roger Roger for his lack of social grace, he in turn displayed his own shortcomings in that regard by splashing about in the water bowls.  Ruffers also took it upon herself to eductate Roger Roger as she sometimes dove into him to interrupt his barking.  She tried to distract him with play-bows and wrestling, but Roger Roger was single-minded as long as there was a ball to be had.  Meanwhile, Coco followed closely at my heel around the park.  Thompson and Benny wandered around, greeting all the other dogs there.  Thompson's limp has been pretty noticeable lately, poor guy, but he's always happy to sniff some new behinds and get pets from whoever's giving them out.  Benny made some playful moves with one dog who caught his interest, but the other dog didn't return the sentiment and wandered off without paying him much attention.
