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:

My thought exactly---the closest I get to camping is when the power goes out, and even that pisses me off.

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)

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!)

I was looking for pics for a project last night...

Here is my submission - Letty in the screen part of the tent:

Is it camping if you're in a cabin?

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.
