Dogs

[+Halden]

I take the dogs whenever possible. I get to cache the get to roam the woods, everbody wins!

This topic is my 'cause celebre'. Abby, my english springer spanial, comes with me on all my trips and is generally pretty useless at finding caches.

 

Sorry people... but if I had to choose between taking the dog for a walk and geocaching..."WALKIES!!"

It would be nice if the each cache page had a spot to confirm whether geodogs were allowed on the property. A few caches in my area are placed in no dog allowed zones and my dogs were not happy especially after a long car ride. Oh well needless to say we did not do those caches.

I am a Parson Russell Terrier with my own account and over 30 finds. Since I don't have thumbs, and my legs are too short, I can't drive, so I cache with my master, SIXDOGTEAM (Lead Dog). He takes a picture of me at each cache site and posts them with his logs. You can go to my profile page to see I am real and not somebody's sock puppet.

I used to begrudgingly take the dog. She comes from a broken home and all. However, since I still can't figure out how to use the "Back-Trac" feature on my GPSr, I need SOMEBODY who knows how to get out of where we've gotten into. This is Elsa's only known true talent. She knows how to get back to the truck. She's a VERY GOOD DOGGY!

I cant have a dog where I live but would love to take one caching if I did. Anyone got a rent-a-dog deal going on?

 

My mom just got a dog but she's only "home" 3 days a month so no chance of borrowing him too often!

Only once have we hit a trailhead which said "no dogs" and had to turn back, but they still liked the ride in the car. I've seen a few caches which ARE for dogs; full of dog toys and treats. Ours found one cache we couldn't locate, so they are fully participating team members!

I always cache with my Jack Russell, who has his own account:"Earthdog Patrick". I've started a series of caches called "Reservoir Dogs" that features each of My Siberians, and they are along to help hide the container.

If our dogs can’t go… we don’t go.  And that applies to all weekend/vacation activities.

How true your statement is. I ended up an RVer in order to always have my dog with me on vacation. I seldom go caching without the REAL Quoddy.

Dogs are fine. They are very social, love to do things with their owners and provide great companionship.

 

Dogs have not been my pet choice. Personally, I prefer cats. It's just a preference. (I don't allow my cats to roam and inflict themselves on other people.)

 

I play with other people's dogs, whom I know. Sometimes I'll ask a dogowner I encounter if I can pet their dog (I don't approach without asking.)

 

I do not, however, enjoy dog poop left on the sidewalk, trail or beach. I do not want to be barked and growled at by an unleashed dog. I don't really want a super friendly and harmless beastie leaping upon me on the trail either. I do not appreciate people walking their dogs in my yard and allowing them to urinate and burn my ornamental plants. Those inconsiderate dog owners out there sometimes give everybody a bad rep.

 

So bring your dogs if it's an area that allows dogs. They'll have fun, you'll have fun. Just be courteous to those perhaps less dog oriented than you.
