GeoPet Question

[+SearchLine]

Does anybody have an account for their GeoPet. Our dog does as much work finding caches as we do.

[+badlands]

I don't but a lot of people do.

There was a cacher I met who has an account for a stuffed animal carried at all times when caching. I think he had one for his dog as well.

I think it's more common to get a TB code for your dog, then you can "dip" it into all the caches you visit to track it's mileage, but also any cachers you meet can "discover" it.

I've discovered a few geo-dogs that have had trackable collars or trackable tags on their collars. But generally, I only notice the tracking number when the dog's owner points it out (either at an event or on a group geocaching trip). I'm not in the habit of searching for tracking codes on the collars of dogs that I just met.

There were a a couple dogs in my area that had accounts, but they'd both passed on before I start geocaching. The accounts were used mainly for the dog to hide caches. Sometimes the dog would post a find, but I'm sure that got old fast since it's hard to type with paws, so most dogs I've known rarely logged their finds.

I never gave much thought to setting up an account for my dogs, but I think if I ever considered it, the deciding factor would be remembering what it was like to be amused as I figured out who the geocacher was, only to realize in the end why he stopped geocaching. If I'd set up an account for my dog when I started geocaching, it would have been for a different dog than the one that comes with me now.

ETA: This is a trackable for a pet, not an account for a pet.

We've got a caching friend with a geo-dog account.  Not sure how often he logs in to the site, though.  (The dog, that is.)

We've got other friends with trackable pets, mostly dogs.  Others have their current dog's name as part of their user account name.

They didn't bury them like bones, did they?

[+The Jester]

I suppose it should be pointed out that some reviewers are dogs.  I'm sure they have accounts for their GeoHuman...

I was thinking about getting a trackable for my dog I take with me often, but an account is an even better idea.

Thanks! Haha.
