February 2012 - Camping

Post by icvanstra »

The theme for February 2012 is:
EN: camping
NL: het kamperen

This may be a repeat... I do often think about going camping this time of the year. Go did through your old photo's or if you are winter camping person get some new ones!

...


The usual rules:
1) please submit one photo
2) you must have rights to the photo that you submit
3) please put the dog's name in your post
4) contest will be open until the around the end of the month ... voting will begin sometime after that.

Going to stress rule #3! :stickman:

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger.

Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

HaHaHaHa! me too. It is my personal belief that once your bones fuse (around 18 years old) you should not camp. Camping is NOT good for your liver. (It takes way too much alcohol to allow you to sleep on the ground)

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Geyser's only been camping once and the pictures are pretty boring. The good news is that this spring, I'll be able to forgo the crate in the tent (yay!)

Nope! :ds:


Even though my sister and brother-in-law think it is...it's NOT camping if you are staying in a pop-up, tow behind, fifth wheel, etc...

Really like Letty's 'artwork', what a creative DS she is!

And camping at the agility trial looks familiar. Have done that many a time at herding & S&R seminars/trials but mostly camping in my old cargo van. Gosh I miss that van. Kept is loaded with dog equip/crates. Just hosed it out once in a while.

Will have to see if I have some photos somewhere.
