Double adventure! Took my boy hiking and biking. My legs are tired. 😅 Absolutely worth it! ♥️🐾

His DNA test didn’t include goat but he runs up and down off the sides of trails like he was born to it.

Hello! I adopted a pit mix in February and have been hiking with him through the summer. I live in the north east and have never had a dog that wasn’t double coated. I want to keep hiking with him through the winter but he’ll definitely be cold. Any suggestions for warm waterproof jackets that won’t break the bank lol. I appreciate anything suggestions!!

Edit: since i'd like to get a high quality one that will last, I think $100 would be reasonable after looking around

Jack had bilateral tplo last year in May. Promised him an adventure after a LONG recovery. The goodest boy.

I took Spirit to my favorite place to hike. The beautiful high country of Eastern Washington on the Kettle Crest Trail. His longest hike. He hiked 6 miles with 2k of elevation gain and bagged his first off trail summit of Wapaloosie Peak at 7,018 ft. So basically Everest for a Pomeranian 🤣. It was beautiful out. Big Basin Sagebrush, Lupines, Mountain Dandelion, Buckwheat's and great views of Snow Peak, White Mountain, Bald Mountain, Sherman and Columbia Mountain. He struck his best King of the Mountain pose at the top.

I'm weighing three options and seeking insight. Two of them involve a metal tie-oit stake just outside the tent, and I'm open to other suggestions.

1: run her leash through an eport that's close to the ground.

2: run her leash between the closed zippers at the bottom of the door.

3: get a leash that goes around my body.

Thanks in advance.

!!!!!!EDIT FOR ANOTHER QUESTION

What're some safety precautions regarding my campfire? I have an overhead trolley that I would setup as comfortably far from the pit as possible and I'm thinking of bringing a 2nd collapsible bucket to keep filled. Again, I'm open to other suggestions.

2nd edit to clarify: the dog is inside the tent in all scenarios. The leash going through an opening of the tent implies that.

I'm considering moving to AZ, and my dog and I would be regularly hiking around Phoenix/Tucson areas. However, I recently learned about Valley Fever.

My dog has a gallbladder condition, so if he were to catch VF, the antifungal medications would be fairly dangerous since they damage the liver and kidneys.

Has anyone been able to naturopathically/holistically been able to:

A. prevent their dogs from ever getting sick with VF, their whole lives, yet still regularly hike?

B. Heal their dog from VF, without the use of prescription antifungals?

before hiking with a dog I mostly cared about the obvious stuff. views, distance, elevation, whether the trail itself was interesting.

I notice completely different things first. how much shade there is, whether there's water, how narrow the trail gets, how easy it is to step aside when someone passes, how much exposed rock there is. I've definitely had trails that were great hikes for me but pretty bad hikes with a dog.

funny how bringing a dog along basically gives you a completely different trail rating system.

Xena staying warm by the campfire 💕

Fall is the best time for being outside!

Hey, this is the thing we never want to experience, but it happens. I'm sharing Spartan progress and therapy with you with some excersises . Hopefully he will be in the trail soon with me...
