Let's See Your Dogs!!

Created a monster. Staring at me while I eat. At least this way, she's not drooling all over the place.

 

courtesy of ruggedT! now i just need some free time to get them on the truck. there's some details in white that are a little harder to see

 

Took the dogs camping for the first time this weekend. Turns out the expanded metal steps on the camper are dangerous...

 

Sad to hear about your travel buddy getting hurt. It may seem to be overprotective, but we use these with our dog and love the results.

We tried lots of other brands with threaded soles like the ruff stuff ones come with but the hard sole really screwed with her balance by not allowing her to have that tactile feel of the surface below her.

 

I posted the wrong link, those are the upgraded SAR dog booties that are very expensive. Try these instead.

That is a bummer. I've had that too. I glued some astro-turf to the steps. Solved two problems, stuck toes and muddy feet.

 

Here is my buddy! I got her at the shelter, she loves camping, canoeing, and sleeping in the back of the truck!

Sorry to see your pup's nub Brady!

Got Jax out today for a training hunt at our local game farm in WI. Had three birds out and a blast watching Jax quarter on scent and flush. Overall didnt need much vocal restraint and was happy to see the instinct kick in for him. Was warm out so took it easy but it was perfect to get him excited about live birds in mouth before this fall rolls around.

Hey, I was wondering what you guys use to secure your dogs in the bed of the truck? I made the mistake of letting my dog in the back of the cab and spent 1hr vacuuming his hair off of the seats and the back of the front seats. I feel its safer for him back there, but when I go camping, I put him in the bed so he can enjoy fresh air once we get off any main roads, but I am afraid that if he sees a rabbit or something he might jump out of the bed.

 

My dog is old she won't go anywhere but a harness and a double leash secures at opposite sides of the bed will make sure your pup won't jump out.

 

Get seat covers!!! Dogs don't belong in the bed!!!!

 

Oh boy...........

 

Dont mean to be rude but that's your opinion. My dog is happiest in the bed. You're saying my dog shouldn't be happy? He gets tethered and now with the topper there's no way for him to get out. I get your comment, but please dont lump all dog owners into the same boat of not caring for their best friends well being.

 

Colorado requires a kennel or cage secured to the bed now to keep them safe in the bed. Might be something to consider. It's up to you. Me personally my GSD's ride in the back seat. I don't mind the hair.
