+Search1128 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I didn't go caching... But I used the GPS in a fun and creative way anyway. Hint.... Duct Tape, Dog, GPS, Dog Treats, Car Bumper... You got it! I put dog treats on the bumper of the car, duct taped the GPS to the dog collar then drove down our street with Patches (doggie) running after the treats. Now I have the knowledge that Patches can run 25 mile per hour and than my car speedometer is off 3 mph!. LOL. It was fun and the neighbors thought I was strange. We all have our moments I suppose.

Swagger Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I think it'd be interesting to attach it to a cat, turn on the track recorder and let it roam around for the day. When it came home, you could see where they'd been! -- Random fortune: Quote Link to comment
+SceneryGuy Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I think it would be more interesting to let the dog chase the cat, and see if he can beat 25mph in a sprint! "I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous!" Quote Link to comment

+CoronaKid Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 It would've been funnier if you slammed on the brakes and patches ran straight into the back of your car. Okay, so I'm a little sick. --CoronaKid Quote Link to comment
Dale_Lynn Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I think it would be more appropriate to put a Big Mac on car bumper, duct tape GPS to Search1128, and let dog drive car. Might give new perspective on how to treat animals.

+Search1128 Posted April 25, 2003 Author Share Posted April 25, 2003 Oh come on! Lighten up people... I didnt' REALLY do this with the GPS and my dog. I'm not that cruel to my dog. I just thought it would be funny as I imagined my dog with duct tape and a GPS on his collar. Now a cat on the other hand... LOL Kirk out. Quote Link to comment

In fact I think they like the dirty laundry even more. These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes; Nothing remains quite the same.

+GOT GPS? Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 A Geko 201 GPS with an attachment for a dog collar would work. The GPS though has to say on top, and not slide under the neck, then it would be bad for the dog, gps, and the signal. This might work with a larger dog maybe, or a good harness to attach the gps too. Always different...Hit refresh Quote Link to comment
