The trail was designed for people.
Just a quick reminder: according to the sticky at the top of this forum this is not a debate forum. Please try to keep your posts somewhat focused on the OP's theme.
Thanks
I keep my FEMALE dog on a PINK leash. I get irritated when people come up and want to know HIS name. Don't they see the PINK leash?
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
maybe they assume hes a gay doggy?Originally Posted by Gray Blazer
Somebody's spoilin for a time out.. . .
I didn't want to bring that up. I guess it's the gray blazer moniker.

Eh, maybe. As long as the humor doesn't get nasty I'm good.
Sorry, assumed since it had to do with the color of the leash, the post would be alright..
I still say it just depends on the dog, one of mine is allowed off leash and the other one is stuck on a leash while on the trail.
No worries.
People simply assume dogs are male for no reason that I know of. Winter is a 70lb female white German Shepherd. Many folks have asked what "his" name is but I don't think anyone has asked what her name is. She wears a red collar and red leash.
My big brindle boxer is almost 90lbs - even with a flowered collar people still think she's a he.
Apparently that and the obvious lack of a penis isn't a big enough clue bus to hit most folks.

LOL.. I'm not in the habit of looking under the dog to see.. I have 3 F YLW Labs.. Heck except for one, you can't tell by their names either..Java, Snow, and Baby
real men can't see pink..... they are color blind.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo

I like the "Flat Out" from Ruff Wear. Easy to clip on and off of hipbelt, trees, fences, etc...
I think we can all share the woods. Dogs and all. Just be responsible about it. And ANY dog has the ability to be dog aggressive, ESPESCIALLY if a loose dog comes running up in their face. A fight can happen even among two poodles. Folks won't have to worry so much about who may have a dog aggressive dog if ALL dogs are kept on leash and under control. You want to let your dog run free; let him run free in your enclosed yard. But, if you are going some place where you have to share the space with other people/animals, keep the dog LEASHED.

On my white mtns hike last week, I saw plenty of dogs. Only one was leashed. I thanked the owner.
Once again a few have to beat the drum of leashes on the trail to posting death. Please read the sticky if you are illiterate or you have a fear of cute cuddly dogs. Please stop posting, in future all non dog owners will have to pass a Rorschach test before posting before embarrassing themselves.
