This is Patch, our retired-from-summer-geocaching, 112 lb Black Lab...Patch still rides out to geocaching sites with us in the fall and winter, but can't take the hot Texas summer...he has gotten heat stoke twice when the temperature reached 85+ degrees...you know you love your dog when you spend hours putting ice packs in his armpits and groin!...he's also a senior citizendog, being 8 years old with arthritis...BUT...he is the official guardian of our cache site "To All the Cats We've Loved Before (GCQ680)...and he takes that job very seriously...we have rewarded that dedication by giving him his own travel bug (TB1NGTW), a GeoDog Geocoin he wears on his collar. Patch is a shelter rescue and wants me to remind everyone; if you are thinking of a new pet...

MAKE SHELTER ADOPTION YOUR FIRST OPTION, PLEASE!

Sorry the picture is so small, I don't know how to make it bigger...duh

Bulli the Wonder Dog is the B portion of TEAM NAB and has his own account to record his finds. (I do help him with his logging!) He loves the longer range hikes and climbs to get to the caches! (Imagine that!) He's been a regular cacher since June 2002 and can be ready to hit the caching trail much quicker than either of the other team members. He is frequently nosing out the cache even before we've made it to the site! He even finds interesting critters that we may have missed altogether! :ph34r:

This is one of the cache sites that Bulli found for TEAM NAB! We were walking up the trail to this cache with Bulli several yards ahead of us when AG said that she believed he had found the cache. I shot the pic as I got closer and sure enough, there is was. Guess we should have just sent him in to grab this one!! :o

I've started caching a little over a year ago because I thought it would be a great way to get the family outdoors in a fun way. Little did I know the most enthusiastic (next to me, of course) about geocaching would be my dog, Cosmo.

He LOVES to go to the caching events with me, so I try to bring him along whenever there's hiking, camping and/or trails involved. He seems fascinated with TBs as you can see in the photos...

 

This photo is a TB we found when we just started out in a cache called 'Thank you, Mr. Carnegie' in Plainfield, IN.

The next two are TB 'buddies' we've found on our journeys..

I would take more photos but I'm currently trying to replace my now broken digital camera...

 

Wouldn't it be fun to have an event just for cache dogs? Just a thought!

Awesome! I had some pics of my dog and I caching and just stumbled on this contest. My dog, "Boo", goes with me whenever she can. She normally leads the way and is never ready to go when I am, however after a long weekend she was tired and would not even get out of the truck at the last cache spot. I guess that's a sign that it's time to call it a day!

 

Thanks for the contest,

 

Tim D

 

Here's an awesome cache close to my home in an abandoned graveyard, Boo is starting to get tired here but she's still searching. ;)

We couldn't find this one today and Boo finally gave up and went back to the truck, after a few minutes I gave in and we went home. But... we did find this one the next day! :D

This is Sky,our Great Dane. We like to call him the great muggle distractor. We used to take him when we hunted for caches,but he attracted TOO MUCH attention! (It's kind of hard to be stealthy with a 160 lb. big WHITE dog! LOL) So,now he mostly goes to events with us,where he plays with all the kids,and is the center of attention! He LOVES it! LOL!!

Funny that you should mention an event just for dogs. There was one last Nov. We went and took Bulli the Wonder Dog with us. It was a fun event-lots of caching dogs there with their "people". Everyone present was well behaved, including the "people".

I have lots of photos of my dogs out caching. These are my favourites.

 

Jack at "The Wooden Cache", he loved this train.

Rocky after completing Four Cache Loop, he earned his patch and now wears it on his backpack.

Forgot to mention that my pups are featured on my new wooden nickel.

I am placing a submittal for Pioneer Woman (PW). She is responsible for getting us into the caching addiction. She is an Army Col and nurse currently stationed at Ft Wainwright Alaska. She also is a puppy sponsor for Guide Dogs of the Desert. She currently is raising a golden retriever named Trooper. We have high hopes he will pass graduation as a guide dog and go to a veteran. PW has no childeren and thus uses TQ3, age 8, and TQ4, age 5, to socialize him to kids. Trooper is a great dog and will make someone a wonderful companion. He also enjoys caching.

 

Unfortunately I'm new to this forum and don't know how to upload the images. (Just clicking the insert image icon says I need a URL. Thus I'm lost.) Please visit: http://img.geocaching.com/user/9a5b6837-ff...ec481877a83.jpg

Caching in Vermont bring us to funny places. As you can see, Wyatt Earp is really not looking at the right place, for this one he was not helping us very much.

Our geodogs Judd and Wyatt got their picture taken with a little TB. Don't worry no harm was done to the little bear.

Woof Woof !!!

As we were getting ready to hide our 50th cache, Judd and Wyatt helped us by filling up the ammo box with what they think is the best swag ever. That's their idea of what geocaching should be about, finding an ammo box full of doggie treats. We finally convinced them that we were going to put something else in the cache. They agreed to that but, we had to split the large cookie between the two of them. :laughing:

So, my caching company had his new picture taken on Sunday.

Here is Nero at In der Kreithecke (GCX58J) he treated himself to a nice piece of wood after the find.

He really loves TB's and even more Geocoins.

This is a picture of him at 9 months old with TB Bernhard

And two more recent ones with PAWPAW's Hound Geocoin#3 on his paw

Harley the Dog is working on her GeoCaching badge for DogScouts.

 

Here she is with the first travel bug that she found today. She'll be traveling this from Florida to Texas next weekend. How Fun!

We have a BLAST geocaching with Harley.

She has a long way to go to get her scout badge though. I think she has to log something like 50 caches and place a couple before she gets awarded the badge.
