She absolutely loved the chicken chews she got last year but has lost more teeth so can no longer chew on rawhide type treats. Name sent:Yes, May 15,2012 Name received: Mission Sent: Mission Received: Serena says: Mom likes shaped geocoins and Native American Coins, also coins with special meaning...something designed from the heart.

+AussieCacheHunter Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 So what exactly is this? Do people mail pets to each other or something? Quote Link to comment
+Getzie family Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes do you want my dog ? Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 So what exactly is this? Do people mail pets to each other or something? Close. You drop them in a cache and then they travel from cache to cache until they reach their destination. Google "hamster caching". Quote Link to comment

+boiler-todd Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I'd like to enter two times for both my dogs. Pets name and type: Happy - He is a 10 year old long-hair red, brown, and black miniature Dachshund. He loves treats. Not much into fetching. He is just too laid back. Name sent: 5-16-12 Name received: Mission Sent: Mission Received: Pets name and type: Binky - She is a six year old Bichon Frise. This spunky white Froo-Froo dog love to eat anything and loves to play. Name sent: 5-16-12 Name received: Mission Sent: Mission Received: I will add pictures this weekend. By the way both dogs love Alien (Space), Dragon, and Egyptian coins. Edited May 17, 2012 by boiler-todd Quote Link to comment
+AussieCacheHunter Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) So what exactly is this? Do people mail pets to each other or something? Close. You drop them in a cache and then they travel from cache to cache until they reach their destination. Not sure that would work with a micro. Maybe the other way around with a large enough pet and a small enough cache, but after 24 hours the camo would be a bit too high quality. Have a look at this page for some information about Geocoin Missions: Geocoin Missions Gracias. Edited May 17, 2012 by AussieCacheHunter Quote Link to comment
+CCWelch Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 AussieCacheHunter- If you sign up, it is kind of like a round robin sort of thing. Names get exchanged and each person sends a geocoin and a pet related gift to the person who's name they received. No live animals involved except on the receiving end. If i could send animals, I would be over nighting a rabbit to everyone who signed up. Quote Link to comment
+thesmurfinator Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi, I've not done this sort of thing before but I'd love to be involved... Pets name and type: Charlie is a Yorkshire terrier. He was rescued from a house with 96, yes not a typo, other dogs, so we don't know how old he is. We think he is around 9. He does not really understand toys, and squeeky toys scare him, but he loves his treats and comes with us on a lot of our caching missions. Name sent: 5-18-12 Name received: Mission Sent: Mission Received: Charlie likes all kinds of coins but especially those with animals on them, or Pirates - he thinks he's Johnny Depp!!

+steben6 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Signed up today...love missions and love pets! Pet's name and type: Muggles (yep, that's her name!) is an almost 4-year-old, 11-pound, short-haired miniature dachshund. She does not cache (thus the name) but much prefers laps, couches and beds. She's scared of everything and very loyal. She LOVES those stuffed lambswool type of toys with the squeakers in them...they are her favs! Name sent: 05/19/12 Name received: Mission sent: Mission received: Thanks for organizing this mission! Quote Link to comment
+DsrtMtnRox Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 This is my first mission and I am so excited!!! Just about 2 weeks ago I adopted Vivian. We think she is a Lab/Pitbull mix and about 2 years old. She was found by a rescuer after being dumped in the desert with wounds around her mouth from it being taped/tied shut. It appeared that she had been used as a "bait dog" and had also been used for breeding. She is the sweetest girl. So far I have figured out she loves dear antler chews, and most healthy treats. We are new to the dog world and Vivian has been deprived most of her life so she loves almost anything! I am new to coin collecting so anything interesting would be great! Vivian and my son getting ready for the drive home the day we picked her up on 5/5/12 Name sent: 5/19/12 Name received: Mission Sent: Mission Received: Quote Link to comment

+Team ScruffyN'Us Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Scruffy would love to sign up, this would be his first mission. Sounds like lots of fun. Pets name and type: Sorry he is not a kitty, Scruffy is a off white poodle/bishon mix and a rescue dog. We found him out in the desert about 8 eight years ago. Not sure of his age probably aleast 10-12 yrs now. He is a diabetic so we only give him treats that are lean in nature, like the freeze-dried chicken treats or chicken jerky type stuff. His favorite color is yellow and loves small yellow squeaky toys. As far as coins, anything with animals or colorful not too picky actually.

If you're familiar with Labradors, you know that they're very "thing" oriented, & they love it when a new treasure is given to them. Here is a photo of Maggie enjoying her spiral rawhide treat: Here's Shenny with his treat still in the wrapping paper: Here's all 3 of them playing fetch with their new toy (Dixie got to it first): They got a bag of jerky treats, too, which I'm saving for another day. I received the beautiful & meaningful "A Nation of Outcasts" coin, which I have been wanting to add to my collection. Thanks so much, Buka2, I couldn't be more pleased with your selection!
