Your Geo-Pet buddies

[+Clarkbowman]

I have a new hiking buddy coming into our home the week before Christmas, He is a

border collie, I have not picked a name for him yet, but it made me wonder about how many of you have a hiking partner with a GeoCaching related name. Post pics and names.

 

[+MattAlbertson]

Not a geo-related name, but Sheba our geo-hound, went on a treck through an abaondoned train tunnel left with us and we snapped a picture I made my desktop background.

 

 

more photos of her in my profile's image gallery and on our website www.MattAlbertson.com

Here is Sierra, my Punny Fuppy...

 

I take her everywhere, jack in the box, krispy kream, in n out burger; any p[lace with outside tables

Not on my computer but I will post a picture later:

 

Efa is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Not really great at sniffing out caches so much as keeping me on the alert for muggles/animals

[insert pic later]

Charlie is a mutt that has a great nose on him. Usually if I can't find a cache, I will take charlie with me the next time and he hasn't failed me yet.

We have two! But Lacy, our dalmatian, gave us our name (The Spot Crew).

 

 

Tessa, our puppy, is the newest member of our crew.

This is Thunder - we rescued him shortly after we started Geocaching. He's almost 15 years old but is in great shape.

 

We didn't name him Thunder, we found out that was his name by calling the vet's tag he was wearing when we found him. Coincidentally both Laura and I wear Mjolnirs (Thor's Hammers), so he's a totem as well as a great friend and companion.

Sorry, no Geocaching name here either but Ava is a great trail dog. She loves to walk and always stands by while I am hunting for a cache and signing the log.

We didn't name our new dog a geocaching name, unfortunately. She's named after a couple or our favorite characters/actors (NCIS, ER) - Abby. It fits her, she's a sweetheart and a character.

 

Here she is at her first cache, Hampton's Folly (she's very dark here because she's wet from the rain):

__________ Otis

Otis has pretty good handwriting.

 

[+puppymonster]

Oh, I have a pet kitty. He doesn't geocache much yet. He is still a kitty.

 

Bobo. I'm training him.

 

[bogleman]

Here is my little Cujo - black lab/border collie and part nut case. She has a bad knee so no more hiking for her

[+Team Catahoula]

No Geo-name for our buddy either. His name is Harley( better and more fun then the real thing) He was a rescue dog we adopted when he was 8 weeks old. He's 5 now and still like a puppy in the woods. Sorry no photo....never posted one here and couldn't figure out how to do it!

[Bougher]

My human takes me everywhere. I especially enjoy events as they have lots of laps.

HI BOUGHER!

 

You don't know me but my mommy and daddy told me all about you and I even sniffed your scent in their dirty clothes bag for the GW6 trip. Maybe you smelled me on them too. My hair gets freakin' everywhere, or so my mommy says.

 

I took a separate vacation in Santa Fe with my Aunt Lisa/Momma. That's why I wasn't there. Maybe I'll see you/get to sniff your butt at GW7.

 

I think you'll like me. I'm quite the dog about town. I have pooped in or otherwise marked territory in 13 states while helping my daddy find caches.

 

That's ME:

 

My dog mama (Lilly) is on the left and that's my daddy in the middle:

 

That's my brother Micro Chip. He lives in Austin.:

(I guess you can see who got all the looks.)

Great dogs!!!

 

Here is Moxie, doing her very best not to attack the bunny TB. She was sorely tempted to rip the stuffing out of it, but was very good and kept her "stay" and "leave it". Her name is not geocaching related, other than she does have plenty of Moxie, which is a good geocaching trait!

 

 

No trades for this pup!

 

[+m.austin]

Tory is my geo-companion. Actually, she answers best to "Darnit Tory" (cleaned up to be kid-friendly!). We adopted her at 8 months, so she was already named. Her registered name is "Victory Lap", which is what I do when I find that particularly fiendish hide, so I guess it could be kind of a cache name (Yes, I'm stretching it abit). What I call her is also fitting for the DNFs!

[+6 Feet More]

Here's my trail hound. This is Zeke. He's taking it easy on the beach at Ft. DeSoto, FL (was rated the #1 beach in America recently).

 

[+Hellolost]

I am loving this thread

[+Team Catahoula]

Ok, we give up. Can somebody tell us how to get a photo onto this site. We would like to post a photo of our " Capt Harley". Loved looking at all the great looking geo-dogs. It's the best way to cache!

Go to Photo Bucket it is a few picture hosting site.

This is Buddy, my geocaching partner. The first cache we found was in a dog park and contained a dog toy. Buddy learned fast that geocaching is fun. When we get close and start visually searching, he frantically noses through the brush looking for the treasure.

 

We're both new to the sport, but it looks like a great way to spend quality time with man's best friend.

Here are the two Geobuddies. Annie and Daisy

[+venicedan]

we have quite a crew of caching buddies, if you want to borrow one let us know. jk jk i only take one at a time, so i rotate them. tomorrow is marlee's turn ( the littlest one) :-) having a dog helps alot being inconspicuous .

 

 

[+fishing fanatic]

My Geo-dog is a retired racing greyhound who is named Cacher. Cacher is also trackable with his own Geo Tag so that other Geocachers can "discover" him at events and on the trail. Click here to see Cacher's GeoTag page.

[+Team Catahoula]

I hope this works! Here is a photo of " Capt. Harley " of Team Catahoula. He is a pit bull/ catahoula leopard mix ( we think) Thanks to Geos of The Jungle for the help.

[+Chamma]

 

Ok just joking

 

 

Scooter is also a TB free to be discovered when you come across her.

[+hydnsek]

She's named after a couple or our favorite characters/actors (NCIS, ER) - Abby.

I'm partial to that name myself.

 

Seriously, some lovely pups, everyone - love the new puppy in the OP! I have cats, and they aren't inclined to cache, although I know a local cacher who has a cat that hikes and caches with them.

[+TeamThom]

This is Sherman, my 9 year old golden retriever. When he hears the beep of my GPSr powering up he runs for his leash.

 

[Lickety-Split]

 

Sophia, my 1 1/2 yr. old tri-colored border collie. She goes with me everywhere.

[+The Longdogs]

No geo-names for ours, but they both have their own caches.

 

Ali was a great caching hound as always stuck close by us and could be trusted 100%. Sadly he died in 2006, but his cache is still going and his travel bug is out and about in Norway at the moment. He's the reason I started caching as I stumbled across one whilst checking out a new walk for him. I still miss him terribly when caching.

 

 

Ted is not quite so good as a cache hound, as I don't trust him 100% off lead. Searching for a cache with him on his lead is a pain. Tie him to something and he'll cry and whinge. He also has a cache named after him. He is enormous fun though and I often relent after saying I'm not going to take him caching, as he gets so excited when he sees me getting my outdoor gear together.

 

 

Nice to see the other dogs here, and especially the sighthounds.

[+vbpad]

Here's Noisette the littlest one curling up after along hike in

and the two of them on trail after picking up another

the big one lilo is a little better at picking out trails but no luck in smelling out the cache.

[+Travelinmatt76]

Here is our geo-pup, Henrietta. We found her while caching. This is a picture of her first day in her new backyard

 

Here's the log of our find

[+The Longdogs]

I remember Henrietta's story from a previous thread! Well done for rescuing her and giving her home to live in. I am involved with two dog rescues and there are some awful stories, especially at this time of year. It's great when someone has a happy ending to share!

[+Mredria]

DiDi really likes this new thing I've been doing. Evidently it's better than starbucks every morning and the dog park every evening.
