Meet Max. My GeoPup! He's still a baby, and he has a lot to learn in regards to geocaching and helping me find all the caches we can. I've only had him a month or so, therefore he hasn't really been on any adventures with me yet, only because I haven't had any time to go play.

focused on that puppachino |
Work. It really interferes with the fun part of life. So Max hasn't really been introduced to the geocaching concept at this point. But come warm weather (yeah, I really don't cache much in the winter), trust me, he'll be a professional in no time. So far, he's been learning to not play bite, walk on his leash without tripping me up, and the big one, remembering I am not an animal that needs to be herded! I never realized how tender the back of your heels can get by those little love nips! No wonder the cows go where the cattle dogs want them to go.....sheesh! On this day --> he was lucky enough to get his very first Puppachino at Dutch Bros. He was in heaven, with a whipped cream overload. But the reason for my post.... did you know you can turn your 4 legged geopup into your very own trackable? WHAAAAAAT??? Yep, you can! I was browsing the geocaching website a couple of months ago, looking for the trackable hoodie (watch for my blog post about my trackables), and, imagine my surprise when I saw this "Log your Dog" trackable tag!!! How stinking cute is this!? I had to have  |
cutest tag ever!!! |
it, naturally, and one for Squinch:) as well. I put it on his leash, so that when ever we go caching, he'll have it on. If we go to an Event, he'll have it on. I can't wait to take him to a CITO event, and let everyone discover him. It's funny, how just buying this tag has made me want to get out there more. Is it because I have a puppy to take along? Or because my puppy is now an actual game piece in this world wide game we call geocaching? Or simply because now I have ONE MORE reason to go? Whatever the reason, I just want to go. Everyday. With Max. Just as soon as he gets a little better about riding in the car. He really has to realize, that is a huge part of geocaching. I mean, I bought him this tag so he could go with me, after all. And since we live in the middle of wheat field country, we have to DRIVE! I've already found all the close ones ... now they are all at least 50 miles away. That requires getting in the big red thing with wheels. Which so far he isn't too keen on. But, he'll get there. He will. I hope.
Ok, time to fess up. I actually bought the tag about 2 months before we got the dog. But, I knew I was GONNA get a dog! I thought she'd be a female named Annie. I had it all planned out. I didn't really want a puppy, with work, no time to train one. Then we saw this fella at the rescue center, and well, the dog turned into a puppy. The male turned into a female, and Annie became Max. It's all good tho because he is such a sweet thing. And I can already tell, he is gonna be one heck of a geocaching partner! SO now, you know. If you have a pup that goes caching with you, or you're thinking of getting one even, rush over to the geocaching website, and get yourself a new trackable! Put it on your 4 legged caching partner and get out there and let him/her be discovered!
