just a quick question... what kind of warmth do you provide for your dogs on the trail in the winter time?”

“BuddurDog has his own sleeping pad and a down coat/bag that BuddurMan fashioned for him.

“In the winter I bring a Ridge rest 3/4 for her and she has her beach towel. She sleeps on the pad and if she gets cold she has the beach towel and if that's not enough I'll throw the coat over her. She a long hair so she doesn't get too cold.

The biggest problem I have with Honey is she gets bored. The more people she has to be around the happier she is. When we go by ourselves she does the same thing most people do when hiking with me; she sits in camp watching the trail as if to say, "Man, I wish someone else would come along!". LOL!”

“The dog should be able to survive with its fur only. Although I've lost a few this way I believe it is in the best interest of the species that it be allowed to sink or swim on it's own”

“schneiders makes a breathable waterproof coat for $15.
i have to custom fit my bulldogs so i have no first hand experience with them, but i've heard good things and besides, for $15 how can you go wrong?

“thanks for all the suggestions!”

“What ever happened to Micia or whatever the trolls name was?”

“A Salt Lake County man died Saturday in a tragic fall while hiking with friends and their dogs in American Fork Canyon.

The accident happened in the Dry Creek area near Alpine when a 21-year-old man fell 100 feet to his death in an attempt to rescue a puppy, according to authorities.

Justin Cunningham was hiking the area with three other men and three dogs. At some point, Cunningham's puppy jumped into a stream and was swept away.

The man jumped in and tried to save the dog but police say he may have leapt before he looked.

“I don't think he realized when he jumped in the stream the danger he was putting himself in,” said Lt. Dave Bennett, Utah County Sheriff’s Office.

The water in the mountain stream was only 12 to 18 inches deep. The victim ran toward the puppy not realizing they were both headed for a waterfall.

“He was swept down the stream and it was just a matter of seconds before he went over the edge,” said Lt. Bennett.

Rescuers say both Cunningham and his dog plummeted more than 100 feet over the edge.

Amazingly, the puppy was not seriously injured from the fall. His owner sustained severe head injuries.
