"My dog"? Bogger who the fudge you trying too fool here. I am sorry to inform you that SHADOW is not a dog, he is a small horse on steroidsthat runs like a flipping zebra.
I agree?????This thread makes no sense.....don't understand why it needed to be moderated;nothing to suggest anything out of the ordinary!!!???!!!
I like Plio7's comments. Must be related to Bogger.
Mudd Kitty, don't take it too personally. I'm not trying to attack you. Just responding in general. I get a bit fired up about dog stuff.
And for the record, my dogs are NOT aggressive savages and I state that in the post. I was making a point by example. Been around dogs a long time, long enough to know that they have minds of their own and instincts. Even the best trained dogs have moments where they make bad decisions. What about the need to chase!? What abou the many dogs that are of leash in a site and rush other dogs that walk by. Sometimes the owners are aware and can call their dogs back quickly, but many are too late. They are animals after all. One of my favourite off leash area comments...."my dog has never done THAT before". Dogs are territorial by nature and will protect their pack....by insticnt! I teach kids that they should always avoid strange dogs and ask any owners before approaching. There is a proper way to approach dogs as well. It irks me big when I see parents let their kids randomly approach dogs in an off leash area. These dogs are in an excited state and anything is possible.
To try and get back on topic a bit, when camping I will usually go introduce myself to other dog people and meet the dog (I would yours too Mud Kitty). If all is good then we might introduce our dogs together and establish the pack rules. If by chance any of the dogs get off leash and decide to visit at least I know it and have a better idea what to expect. Still, my kid and other small kids in our camp will be kept at a distance to ALL the dogs. Even my own gentle giants. Dogs have bad days too. I always am aware of where my kid is and what she is doing, same with the dogs.
Ever watch how a group of random campers react when a strange large dog comes walking into camp. Everyone is uneasy...for a moment.
Anyway, I think this thread is going a bit off topic, although it's a good one. Point is respecting thy neighbour.
Anyone want to get into a generator discussion:d
Might not be a good idea right now...I've had a couple pops.
Well said, I agree completely. Both parents and dog owners need to be aware of the situation at all times. It's just a matter of having consideration for your neighbors and realizing that they may not have the same view of what amount of noise, etc. is acceptable. You can have a good time, stay up late no problem, but you don't have to be excessively noisy to do so. You can bring dogs, but be responsible for them and control them. I have a bud that brings his dog to my cabin. He tells me "oh he listens good" then let's the dog off his leash (large Malamute) and the first thing the dog does is run off my property and ignores his owner's calls to come back. He's not a mean dog, just doesn't listen well. This is far too common and is a perfect example of a dog owner that needs lessons on how to control his dog. I get to the point that I tell him "keep him on leash or don't bring him" because I'm not going to allow his dog to run around the neighborhood. I think from the comments that everyone here does have respect for others, just maybe some different views here and there. Happy camping!I like Plio7's comments. Must be related to Bogger.

paid camping, respect the rules and be considerate of others. keep the hounds leashed, and if it's a barker, leave the damn thing at home.
.
, but is always happy to never have neighbours LOL. These aren't 'sites' just open spaces in the bush FYI....so I don't want to hear about it there's lots of room for you...just keep on drivin' There's an open spot we really like by the river and there's a 'kind of' spot right next to it...sure as chit someone will park right next to you if you give them the chance. What's with peeps that they have to do that...drive 500 ft further and get the F away from me!! We do what you do Modman...keep on drivin' until we don't see anyone! Not, "oh, there's a camper in the middle of buttf*ck nowhere, let's camp right beside them!"
I now set up my tent and park our bikes and extra chit at that clearing...then set up the trailer at the other one. Hubby thinks that's a bit unreasonable
Even when I bring my trailer ain't got no fancy genset never need it!
