i sometimes hike with three dogs at a time. they are all trail-trained but i do not take them around people as they are dogs and some people don't like dogs. period. why would a dog owner EVER force their dog(s) on somebody else? that's just irresponsible. if we even pass other hikers, the dogs and i go YARDS off trail until they pass.
as for shelters, i hate shelters. they suck. but even if i did use them, my dogs would not be in them. i wouldn't want somebody else's dogs slobbering on my sh**.
so, no. no dogs in shelters. ever. for any reason. if it's raining, you should have brought a tent.
Did they perminately ban your account? That is alittle unjust considering mechanical man was shooting me with all those questions. His posts were more arguementive and more rude then yours were.
Actually yours werent even rude now that i think of it.
I miss these dogs. Based on what it does to the GI tract, they should NOT be allowed in shelters.

Omm my God. Should have seen that coming. Deja vu, make that Dijon vu on the dogs... Should have seen that coming. Wait I did.
