Expedition Paw Prints Reviews The Eureka Northern Breeze

4

By Dale E. Smith
Tent camping in the 1960’s and ‘70’s taught me some valuable lessons about car camping. To start with, you have to search out that perfect campsite. You know the one, just enough trees but not too many because they block the wind. Find a level spot to pitch the tent. (It’s no [...]

Make Your Dog a “Cool Cat”

5

Last winter Ruff Wear became a gear supplier for our Expedition Paw Prints series. Keegan was decked out with hiking boots, camp pads, life jackets, fleece coats etc. Now that summer has arrived, we needed some gear that would cool him off.
For summertime fun Ruff Wear sent us a Swamp Cooler™ cooling vest. Here is [...]

Move Over Rover, I’m Trying To Drive!

5

by Dale Smith
Owning dogs and having to take them places has always created problems for me. Our dogs, the smallest of which is around 60 pounds, are not very well trained when it comes to riding in the car. It especially gets to be a challenge when we put all four in. We have a [...]

Towser Talk: Tie me up, tie me down (with a seatbelt)

0

When you have an active dog like Towser, the prospects of putting him in a vehicle and traveling are always a little daunting. Since we spoiled him as a puppy and let him roam around the Rav4 wherever he liked, it has been hard to explain to him that not only is that not safe for him – it’s not safe for any of us! He has fallen off the console and shifted the truck into park going down the interstate, and since he knows how to roll down the windows in the back…

Adventures in Home Improvement: PetSafe Deluxe Dog Panel Installation

0

We haven’t always had a doggie door. Those were dark, dark days for us. We even refer to that unfortunate period in our lives as B.D.D. and everything after that as A.D.D. (Before Doggie Door and After Doggie Door).

Don’t Drink The Water… don’t let your dog drink it either!

0

That saying has been used over the years to warn travelers. It didn’t matter whether it was getting sick in Mexico with “Montezuma’s revenge”, (Both my wife and I have had it and it is no fun at all), or hiking on the trail and the only water source was from a creek that was [...]

Keeping your food, Human and Canine, cache safe from uninvited critters!

0

I have been going camping since I was a child. Growing up we car camped in a tent, then switched, to a pop up camper and later graduated to a motor home. We never really worried about food storage at the campground. When we were in a tent we stored the food in wooden camp [...]

Peak Waggers, the PERFECT weekend travel food

3

We introduced everyone to Peak Waggers dog food in an earlier article called “Food For Thought… Mark Twain National Forest, Piney Creek Wilderness area backpacking adventure Part III” and now that I am back from our backpacking adventure I wanted to tell you what I and most importantly, Keegan, thought of the food.
We put Keegan’s [...]

Sleeping Beauty: The dog bed dilemma – Part II

0

There are two more dog beds I discovered since the original article that I really must bring to your attention. Not only are they functional for dogs with or without incontinence issues (you’ll see why), but really great looking. You won’t feel like you have a “dog bed” interfering with your well put together décor. These beds are also not nearly as expensive as the beds in the previous article, so I can’t think of anything that would stand in the way of either of these picks.

Eureka! The Copper Canyon 1312

0

Suddenly…out of nowhere…our dogs started barking as if there were a pack of wolves coming down the street. I peeked out and to my astonishment…the deliveryman was lugging a box to the front door. My excitement level actually rose a bit, too because I knew we were expecting a package from our friends at Johnson [...]

RIDING A “HOG” WITH YOUR DOG – The Real Cure for the Summertime Blues

By Johnny Dare (Host of “The Johnny Dare Morning Show” on KC’s 98.9 The Rock)
When I first heard about Beast Riders on the ‘net’, I was intrigued, to say the least…I mean, hell, what could be better than a putt with your favorite mutt? So when Stacy from Paw Prints asked if I would review the product with my dog Barger, I jumped at the chance!

StayAway® Automatic pet deterrent
So, we have this cat, Boris. He’s gorgeous! He has long, snow white fur with a fluffy charcoal tail and matching, almost symmetrical spots on the top of his head. He and his sister, Natasha, were born in our closet to a young and inexperienced mother. While Natasha seemed to know everything [...]

The Litter-Robot
By Stacy E. Smith
Who has an electric, automated, self-cleaning litter box (LitterMaid, etc.)? Raise your hand. Who wishes they had one, but would rather not spend a couple of hundred bucks on a litter box? Who has one and wishes they hadn’t spent a couple of hundred bucks on it? We can relate. We [...]
