Now camping is an activity that 90% of the time your furry friend can attend.... and they usually LOVE it! If you are Whiskey, you spend most of your day inside. You pretty much sleep ALL day from 8am - 5pm until we get home from work. Then you go CRAZY when we get home, eat dinner and maybe play outside for an hour by running around and playing fetch..... sound familiar???
But camping the mutt gets to be outside ALL of the time! This was our first time camping with Whiskey and it was an adventure. Rene and I found a nice secluded campsite NE of Payson at Tonto Creek campgrounds. There was a nice creek that ran throughout.
We set up camp and then went for a hike.... Whiskey LOVES hikes, especially if it involves water! We could hardly keep up with him.
When we got back it was time to make a fire and start cooking dinner. I have to say I loved having Whiskey with us there but one thing did get on my nerves a little..... every time Whiskey heard the slightest noise he would prick up his ears and look into the forrest. Now that was getting me paranoid that something was out there coming to get us (more than usual), whether a bear, cougar, coyote, crazy forrest people.... heck even a turkey would have scared the beejeezes out of me! So that was really the only downfall of the situation. I would hope to think if we do it enough he will get used to the "forrest noises".
If you are looking for something fun and adventurous to do with you mutt, go camping!!!
