+ChicagoCanineCrew Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Hey everyone! I made my Golden Retriever Ginger a geocaching t-shirt. I wanted to see what other people thought of it! I think it turned out really well. I made Ginger (my dog) a travel bug (here's a link) mainly so I could keep track of the caches that she has visited but also so people can note it if they meet us. So, I decided to put that on her t-shirt and that way people who see her would know that she has a travel bug tag... I was a little worried when I bought the tee that it might not fit her because I know sometimes dog sizes are way off and end up too small for the larger dogs, but it fits surprisingly well on her slim but deep-chested frame. It also is a lot longer (down her back) than I expected it to be. Image/info removed as I was told the content was not allowed... ETA: Well, if anyone wants to see Ginger's t-shirt check her travel bug's photo gallery, link above. Edited September 29, 2007 by ChicagoCanineCrew Quote Link to comment

+MuddyPawPrints Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 That is the best! Great idea! Does Cafe Press still have your design? I would love to have two for my dogs! I think you have a winning design there! Quote Link to comment
+Quiggle Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Nice design, looks fun!

+simplyred Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 looks good, but my dogs are in every water and mud hole out there, so it wouldn't look to great too long. LOL Quote Link to comment

Thanks. I know, that's why I did not make any mention of selling or offering anything for sale or post any commercial links that offer anything for sale. I just posted a photo of my dog wearing the t-shirt that I made for my own dog, it's one of a kind! Now, if other people wanted to reply and ask me if the design is available I have no control over that... Edited September 28, 2007 by ChicagoCanineCrew Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 To paraphrase Jay Leno, if you think your pet enjoys wearing clothes, you've only succeeded in deluding yourself. Quote Link to comment
+ChicagoCanineCrew Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 To paraphrase Jay Leno, if you think your pet enjoys wearing clothes, you've only succeeded in deluding yourself. How do you know? You don't know my pets. Actually my dog Ginger DOES enjoy wearing clothes, because she knows it gets her extra attention and she loves attention/petting almost more than food. When I put a costume on her, she starts wagging her tail and gets excited and happy. My other dog doesn't care one bit if he is wearing something or not, he does not mind it at all, just keeps doing his usual thing...he could even be wearing a full outfit complete with hat and he will act just the same as if he is not dressed. Unfortunately this is really not the best for the Halloween costumes (I enter some costume contests for Halloween), as his usual thing is to barrel around like a steamroller and that causes a lot of wear and tear...

+GeoScooter1 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Can't see the t-shirt, but I love the idea of giving your dog a travel bug tag. I may have to do that for my dog, Abbie, who goes geocaching with me most of the time. I could always back date her travels. She did 9 caches with me today and we hiked about 4-5 miles! A lot for her since she is about 7lbs. Quote Link to comment

A lot for her since she is about 7lbs. Yes, I went back and did that for the caches that Ginger had visited, so I could keep track. Luckily I had been keeping a list of caches she visited for a Dog Scout badge I was trying to earn (yes, there is such a thing as Dog Scouts!) so it was pretty easy to go through them. That's great that you guys hiked that much! I love to see the little dogs getting out there. I had a foster Shih Tzu who was 9 lbs and he just loved hiking with the big dogs, and had no problems keep up. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I went through your gallery and found a great pic of a big sweetie! But no, I don't think putting on a t-shirt is her favorite thing. Quote Link to comment

+nekom Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Not a bad idea at all. I seem to remember a forum discussion awhile back about somebody who had made their car into a travel bug, painted the TB# and that little spider looking design right on the door. Hey, you gotta love creativity! Quote Link to comment
+GeoSchnoodle Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 We got Otis a trackable geo-dog coin for caching/hiking. I am new to this. Maggie, my Schnoodle, caches with me. Are you allowed to post where you got the dog coin from? Otherwise can you please message me? Thanks, Maggie Mae's Mom :-) Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Nice design on the tee, cute dog. It does add a whole new meaning to DOG TAG, doesn't it! Quote Link to comment
