Let's See Your Dogs!!

Here is Rafael at 8 weeks waiting to be taken into the arms of his future master.



At three months? on San Pedro Island, Belize, chasing coconuts



Rafael at 105lbs, a gentle giant, will be 6 this September

 

How did you get the dog through customs? No quarantine? Takes me nearly an hour to get through customs at Belize City, just about every time. And no dog.

 

He can herd, but his fishing skills are horrible!!

 

I did have to get an International Health Certificate signed by my vet.
I remember crossing the Mexican border between Brownsville and Laredo, TX.
The Mexican official was a cute girl that spent all her time with 8-wk old Rafael.
She practically ignored me but to ask me to give her my dog LOL.
Belize was pretty easy as I am a Catholic priest and we are highly respected there.

My AC belt was slipping going through Mexico on that trip 105ºF
So I drove with the windows down.
My poor puppy has never been able to stand much heat since!

What have you done in Belize Don? Vacation?

 

This is what I have for my pup

I have it hooked into the car seat anchor and it gives him enough room to move around but can't get up front. You can buy a swivel carabiner by itself here if you wanted to make a custom length one.

 

Our Frenchy " Sophie" in the Durango/Bayfield area of CO.

 

Stand back Mountain Lions!

 

Speaking of pups FEDEX showed up today with my pups new box for the new Tacoma

 

Vacation. Yes. 8 times, over the last 15 years, to Turneffe Flats Lodge on Turneffe Island, Bonefishing. Still hoping one day to hook a Permit. Same for Tarpon. Went inland one year, after fishing, to a place near the Guatemala border. Place called Chaa Creek. Amazing. Turnoff Flats are dog lovers, as well, and we enjoy there company when we're away from our two. Sadly, though, some of their smaller dogs have been lost to the crocs.

 

Jager our GSD and Grim our Aussie.

 

Turneffe Atol, wow!
I could never have afforded to go there, but glad you did.
I lived on San Pedro for a year at the church and would ride my bike to more remote places where I could get into schooling bonefish.
They would even school around the town dock too.
Never got into tarpon or permit.
I just love to flycast.
You've got to be a double hauler.
What make and size of rods were you casting?
I caught most of my bonefish on a 5wt Temple Forks TiCrX that could throw a 7wt line a good distance in the wind.

 

Good God, it looks like a Doggy Supermax.

You transporting Rex Ruthor in there, canine super villain?

I mean...dayum!

 

I'm just funning because of the bars and the diamond plate. Thing looks bulletproof. My grandfather had built something like that for our hound dog so he wouldn't jump out of the truck bed on the highway.





Again.

 

If keeping my Holly in the safety of an insulated safe supermax crate while traveling on 4 wheels is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

 

I thought those were an urban myth . . . adorable!

 

Just about one week old, so going to be a while before we get her, but this is our newest addition. She's a Boston Terrier

 

8 wts for Bonefish. I like Sage, my wife likes Scott. I'm shitty at double hauling, my wife, not at all. But if you work the wind right, you can get the fly where it needs to be. Of the 8 times we've gone only one was in prime Grand Slam opportunity time, and just our luck, the weather sucked. The other times we went off prime time when they offer two for one deals.

 

Exactly my thoughts, as well. Either that or an oven. Looks solid, though, and I like the rings for strapping it down securely.
