A new addition to PengoFamily so we are celebrating...

[+PengoFamily]

I am sooo excited that I just had to share the joy. We adopted a Boston Terrier named Spade this past Friday. He's 1 1/2 years old and he's a bundle of energy. He is fitting right in with the PengoFamily very well. He's even black and white like a penguin...LOL!! And it seemed to happen just at the perfect time. We love our new PengoDog.

 

 

 

So in honor of that I wanted to hold a little cointest. I will be giving away 2 Random Coins...will post what they are once I fish through my stuff and figure it out.

 

So in order to win a geocoin you must post a photo of your GeoPet. BUT the catch is that the picture has to be geocaching related somehow. I.E A pic of your dog at a geocache, or if you have a pet that cannot geocache a picture of your pet with something else caching related, i.e. GPS, Geocoins, etc but something that is pretty obvious is caching related. Please do not camo tape your pet.

 

1 entry per cacher/person please.

 

I will use a random number generator to pick 2 winners.

 

You have until Monday, May 19th 6pm EST to post a photo.

 

Have fun!!

Here's my dog "Shadow" giving a goodbye kiss to a geocoin that I was sending to travel in Australia.

[+Tschakko]

Hay, congratulations on your new friend, he looks really cute, I bet you will have a lot of fun with him

 

Now the picture of my geopet is in loving memory, ´cause she died a short while ago.

It´s on a photo with my first Travelbug TB1983B, which is dedicated to my hamster Schnucki. It´s mission is to collect pictures of the TB and other hamsters, just like I did at the time...

Congrats Pengofamily with your new pengodoggie Spade

 

 

Our Error by Earthcache Geological Path GC14NQ3

 

When Error see that we take our gps, he goes overjoyed

I am addicted to coins , Error to geocaching

Error never helps us to find the cache, how longer we seek, how much time he has to play

 

Pengofamily thanks for this fun cointest

[+kdv]

Congrats PengoFamily! I don't know if my geopets would get along with yours though .

 

Here are a few pictures of a visiting TB taking a nap with Gabbana, one of my cats:

A much smaller Koh Koh at the second cache we found with her...

[nebukatneza]

first, congrats to your new beautiful family-member.

 

here's a pic of our dog ZIPPO.

In 2007 it was the year of the moose, so some cacher started a race

in germany with moose-coins.

the coins should move as far as possible and they had the chance

to get some extra points.

we found one coin and

so we decided to convert our gps-dog into a moose to help the owner of

the coin win the race...

 

[+grodan & fiabus]

 

Here is our cat Fia with her coin, Fias coin TBP8W0.

 

Thanks for the cointest and hope for many happy years with your dog.

My cat Duncan with my BTFI geocoin.

[+ECplus3]

 

These are my nephews with their dog Max. Not exactly my geopet, but he visits often enough that I consider him part of the family.

 

There's nothing to indicate any geocaching going on in this photo, but I can assure you there is! This was taken from on top of the rock that hides Cubs Cavern Cache (GCVKAM) and was taken last October on Thanksgiving Day (yes, we here in Canada have Thanksgiving before Halloween ).

[+Tethys C]

Here is Jasmine the Geodog with a TB friend in Kananaskis Country, Alberta.

 

 

She loves geocaching and gets VERY excited when she sees us getting our backpacks ready. Jasmine is a walking TB - note Geodog coin on her collar. Check her out at TB1H64C.

[+SeabeckTribe]

If it wasn't for our GeoDog, "Lit'l Bit", we would have missed this cache!

 

[CLAMM]

Congrats PengoFamily!!

 

Our Avatar is of our dog Frodo caching. She loves to climb fallen trees and keep a watch out for muggles!!

[+Geo-Gophers]

Congrats on your latest addition to the family, he's so cute!!

 

This is our Harvey (from Scotland) with his very own "Red Bone" travel bug.

 

[+Captain Zulu]

Great small dog, Spade! Congrats with this new Pengo Family member! He may not know yet, but probably he'll help finding hundreds of geocaches in his future life with you! And I think that one day there'll even be a Spade Geocoin!

 

Thank you for organizing this nice cointest! It's a great idea!

 

My cointribution to this cointest is a picture of my GeoDog 'Céline van 't Laagveld'. Her everyday-name simply is 'Muis', Mouse in English. She is a three-and-a-half year old 'Basset Fauve de Bretagne', in English: 'Fawn Brittany Basset'.

 

The creature in the foreground is 'Pauline das Schaf' (Pauline the Sheep), a German travel bug (TB18ZB6) whose mission is to have her picture taken with as many animals as possible while traveling from cache to cache. So here Pauline was successful again, thanks to Muis's kind cooperation!

 

I hope Muis wins this cointest for her boss!

Our geo-dog Sasha:

 

 

We started taking her along with us a few months ago, so we decided to give her a TB tag to track her adventures.

 

 

She really enjoys going with us, and she loves all the attention she gets from people we meet!

 

Thanks for the cointest and congrats on the addition to your family!!!!!!!!

This was our Geopup Amarus, He is no longer with us as he was hit by a car, and had to be put to sleep.

 

 

He loved caching, this picture was taken the day the Green Jeep came in the mail.

 

Amarus means unforgetable love in greek.

 

We miss you buddy,

Twitch, modeling a TB around his neck. Not voluntarily - he has that "She's torturing me!" look again.

[+GATOULIS]

Hello to all!!!

 

Oh! Nice dog!!! congratulations Pengo family!!!!!

He is even black and white!!!! a penguin dog!!!

 

I do not have a pet companion when I go for geocaching, but I only have a pair of small parrots!

 

As you can see in the photo, in their cage, there is a TB (No! I will not relise my pets!!! ), and the first Greek geocoin , in the version of shiny silver! this was only for greek geocachers, in 50 pieces!

We are not so many in Greece!

 

My parrot names are:

 

Frixos and Elli!

 

Frixos is the blue one (male), and Elli is the green - yellow one (female)!

 

Hmmm.... they have almost all the Geocaching colors! so, they are officially geobirds, or Geoparrots!!!

 

Their name Frixos & Elli, comes from the Greek Mythology!

Frixos & Elli were brother and sister, children of the king of Koroni in Boiotia. their mother was the daughter of Oceanus, so she was somehow a small goddess!

 

Their father, remarried and with her new wife he had 2 more children!

Unfortunatelly for Frixos & Elli. their step mother didn't like them at all, and tried to kill them!

She managed to send them to get sucrified to the Gods!!! (hey it is mythology!!!)

 

Thir mother, learned what was going on, and sended a flying ram with golden fleece! Frixos & Elli ride the ram and flew away! when they were travelling above the sea, elli fell in! the place she fell is called Hellispondos, and you might know it as the Dardanelles!

 

Posidon took Elli to his kingdom and Frixos continued his journey until he reached Kolchida! (nowdays Georgia??). the king there, welcomed him and gave him his daughter for wife!

Frixos, sucrificed the ram to Zeus and gave its golden fleece as a present to the king! He, dedicated it, to God Aris (Mars), hung it from an oak tree, in the sacred forest of the God, and a dragon who was never sleeping became its guard! For this fleece, Jason and the Argonauts made an epic journey!

 

Anyway.....here is the photo!!!

 

As you can see, Frixos is turned to the TB (the traveller)

Elli is curious but is turned to the coin! The coin has an ancient ship, and the greek flag is like the sea!!!

Sea??? where Elli fell????

[+Tank Hounds]

Our late "Elmo" (ATB) who wanted to check out our coin...(notice the lack of teeth!) He only had 9 teeth left!

 

[+emzernask]

rosie the geojack at wacky wabbit's wall GCWZP7.

all the jacks come with me geocaching and several times have been directly responsible for me making a find.

 

[+MountainRacer]

 

It's Slim Jim the geosnake! Perfect for checking the undersides of benches and guardrails for those pesky nanos. Okay, so it's just a run-of-the-mill snake from my adventures on the AT, but he was a pet for a few minutes, and was very photogenic. Congrats on the new pooch!

[Tooeygeotrashed]

Congrats on your newest addition, here are two of mine ......

They are just two and half weeks old.

Thank you the fun cointest

My pet Sassy chilling around with my first and only coin! It was a present to me from a friend and I think Sassy took quite a liking to it.

congratuled white your new family member

he is a real sweetie

hopefully he finds a lot of cache`s

here a foto of one of my child she has the name Pim, always thought it was a boy but after 4 years we found out it is a girl.

we found her on the street when she was a little girl and we adopted her, and learn her to cache............

she`s waiting on the satelite`s

[+Sparticus06]

We too just added a new member to our family. Our pup Samantha will be a geo-pup soon. I even got her own geo-bandana. We also have our 3 yr old geo-pup, Chianna. She goes once in awhile. Mainly when my wife goes so that someone can keep track of her. She is a big dog and is hard to take in the cache-car, so she goes when I take the cache-truck. I am working on getting them both their own pathtag or something of the sort.

 

Sam gettin ready to cache

Congrats on the new family member.

[+Laval K-9]

Congratulations for this new member of the family. Spade is very cute.

 

Come on, let's hide some caches !

 

THE ULTIMATE REWARD

 

Judd and Wyatt Earp, Laval K-9's geodogs.

[+LadyBee4T]

Another new geo-dog--what fun!! I know he will give you years of fun and unconditional love!

 

My pack all have their own accounts and now also each wear a geo dog coin on their collar so they can be petted, get belly rubs and then be discovered. They love all the attention LOL and they sure got it today at the event we attended.

Tippi the Caching Cat - Likes to lay down in the cabinet in the computer room while I'm in here and he poked his head out to check out the new mystery coin when we got it. Trying to sniff out who sent it

Edited May 19, 2008 by Nochipra

[+Nochipra]

I think I just screwed up? I just edited the pic I posted yesterday or should I say very early this morning describing what Tippi was doing and didn't pay attention to the cointest ending time. Oh well, but I actually did post the pic before the time limit?

Cointest runs until 6pm EST this evening.

Congrats on your new home, PengoPuppy!

 

Ok. I admit. I didn't take this pic, but I do own the dog! (Or is it the other way around?)

 

 

[Arf2-D2]

I just got a "Help!" email from Dendro71. Seems that she can't get onto the forums (darn firewall) and asked me to post this. Hope thats ok.
