Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

The pack was excited to get on the trails when we arrived at the Chautauqua this morning.  Unfortunately, excitement translated into rudely barking at a Husky who rounded the corner to the block where we parked just after everyone had hopped out of the car.  Rucksack maintained his good manners, but Sputnik, Mamacita, and Coco all made a bit of a fuss before I brought them away from the sidewalk and had them sit and wait to let the Husky pass.  Once we were on the trails, everyone relaxed substantially and gave a much firendlier greeting to a sweet yellow Lab who came over to say hello.  Rucksack gave Mamacita's ears a lot of attention today and by the end of the hike her entire head was soaked from his licks.

Play Pack

Stella and Thompson took a slow pace as we walked around the perimeter of the Foothills Dog Park this afternoon, so I matched their pace while RogerRoger and Coco frolicked.  Colby seemed a bit anxious after only a short while at the park.  RogerRoger tried to play with her and she made a couple moves, but she made no attempt to chase him back or invite him to run more, so RogerRoger returned to wrestling around with Coco.  When we made our way back from our first loop, Colby went over to the gate and whined.  I put her on the leash at that point and we walked around the park some more.  Coco, RogerRoger, and Thompson all took an interest in a playful, young mutt.  Coco and Thompson were both so interested as to mount him a few times.  Later on, Colby showed some interest in another dog who entered the park so we went over to him and they sniffed hellos before the pack headed shortly thereafter.
