Hey folks,
I have a German Shepherd which has been my faithful companion for several years. She loves hiking and camping... she also loves water. She'll jump in any lake or river and has no problem standing out in the rain.
Well this has started to be a problem for me. I hike light into my campsites and don't have room to hike in eight towels to dry off a German Shepherd. She usually sleeps in the tent with me as she's too large for the vestibule. I'm not worried about her running off but if she's outside the tent she cries and paces all night and I don't get any sleep.
A damp dog is no worry, but we were out during the New Years monsoon and she was soaked.
So to all my friends out there that take their dogs into the woods: how do you keep your dog, and more importantly your tent, dry?
Thanks.
