Dogs
For those of you that take your dogs hiking with you what if anything do you all do for em afterwards. Like I usually take a couple aspirins. I know dogs motor around at least mine does and I make sure to give her tons of water but I can't really give her a beer to relax after, so does anyone give there dogs an aspirin or something else? Do dogs get a headache?

I have a Good Times restaurant close. I will stop and get her a pawbender's treat. Made specifically for dogs, it's lowfat custard and doggie bones. She LOVES it!

Re: Dogs
Giving a dog a treat after taking them hiking is like giving a man a massage after ... dinner?

Mine seem to like a 5 piece nuggets from Wendy's $0.99 menu while I put down my Triple Baconator.

Re: Dogs
We always end the trek by going to the car for cookies and peanut butter... then home for a "tick-check" which turns into the best dog-rub ever!

Re: Dogs
I give my dog, Sawyer, Subway after most of our climbs...or a vanilla Dairy Queen ice cream cone.
With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Re: Dogs
After any kind of big hike mine get to split some icecream with Zukes treats mixed in.
Re: Dogs
I spoil my dog with a big piece of chicken or steak. I like some of your ideas though. Has anyones dog gotten up Crestone Needle? Mine has done class three before including South Maroon Peak but I was wondering how she would do on the needle. Class 3 is as far as I will take her.

Re: Dogs
In my opinion, Crestone Needle is easier than S. Maroon. It might be a tad steeper but the rock is wonderful. If your dog can do Maroon, then your dog can probably do the Needle.

My GSP always gets a packet of Tuna at the top, or when we stop for lunch.
And lots of treats afterward, and an occasional lap or two of beer.
