SCCampers 5th Annual Trick or Treat Rally, 2007

[Dee4j]

Why can't you leave a dog unattended in your trailer?  Is someone always with her at home?  Are you afraid she will bark?  We are leaving Jellybean in the trailer.  She has a crate she stays in.  Just make sure she has a small bowl of water and she eats before you go and she'll be fine.  Leave your keys with someone that is staying just in case she starts to bark alot and you will be fine.

exactly..pickles was in the trailer at mojave...and after a couple of hours she started to bark only cause she had to poop otherwise she would've been fine. Carol called me and told me they would be longer than expected and I just listened for her and took her for a walk when she started barking. she was just fine..

when we camped we left our dog all the time to guard the trailer. my parent would just make sure it was opened up so it wouldn't get too hot. I don't remember if we had AC back then if we did then it was running.

That's more like it.  And yes, Wavery's trailer is probably going down.

This may be a silly question but with all that's going on Saturday, when will we have time to prepare for the potluck?   Last year or so, we moved up the dinner potluck because it was dark for dinner and we couldn't see what was being served.  I remember when the Flinder's were camping with us and Carey couldn't see what she was putting on her plate and accidently ate seafood.  She had a severe allergic reaction and because of this, the potluck was served while it was still light.
 
I'm just saying......

Kim,

We will be sure that the table is well lit if it gets dark.

I understand and appreciate the concern about food allergies :eyecrazy: but I must say that if a parent knows that a child has food allergies, they should be very carefully supervised (as you well know). I have dealt with this most of my life and I know that when this is a problem, I don't guess and I teach my kids not to guess. Always ask what is in a dish. In some cases, this can be a matter of life & death. The fact is, if a person knows that there are food allergy issues, potlucks can be deadly.

We recently new of a Church member that almost died at a potluck because of an allergy to peanuts. Someone used the spoon from one dish to scoop out from another dish, then put the spoon back in the original dish. The spoon was in a casserole that was prepared by the allergic girls mother. The other dish was a salad that was prepared with peanut oil (by someone else). It took about 2 minutes for the girls air passage to completely restrict. The paramedics had to perform an emergency Tracheotomy to save her life. It was horrifying.

Hi again, it's me, the wagonmaster.
 I have a small problem. Her name is Chloe. Since no dogs can go to the pumpkin patch and we can't leave them in our trailers unattended, would anyone who is staying at camp, be willing to watch her for a few hours?
 I know it is asking alot but the only other alternative is to stay at camp with her and Trina and Theresa go to the pumpkin patch. I will then have a unused ticket that someone can buy from me, like say JimQPublic.

Not to be distrespectful or sound ouchy, but when you take a dog camping you can't assume they're going to behave the same way they do at home.  It's a new/different environment & they can get stressed out.  If your dog is inclined to bark at home, there's every likelihood that it'll bark while camping.  Nothing is as irritating as a yappy dog ruining the peace & quiet of a campground (well, maybe loud music is ...).  

If you have concerns about leaving Chloe at the CG, then leave her home with someone or board her.  It's the price dog owners have to pay sometimes (which is why I'm not going to the Pumpin Patch, or why I didn't go to AJ Spurs in Buellton in June).

Bob ..I'm sure someone can keep an eye on chloe for you...

bark collar is another option...

one of the reasons I don't have a dog so I don't have to worry about is it or isn't ok they stay in the camper a couple of hours.

but then again I don't know of too many people that go tent camping with an 9 week old infant, but I think Kara is just fine...matter of fact she lives for camping :p  dogs are like children, they adapt.....


Kim..you and Richard may have to divide & conquer..this is one of the reasons it was brought up not to have the potluck.

also everyone NOTE: these times are approx. I think some are too long and some are just right..

just everyone pretend you are leaves and go where the wind blows you :p ..towards the fire and the cactus coolers :!


dieter ..no jail time for me..I'm in the "know" with the police and besides it was an "accident"...one of the advantages of being blonde.

"honest officer I didn't know it would burn, isn't canvas flame retardant?" :U

?.......If there's 10 other dogs whos watching them , The Bird :confused:

[BootheBunch]

Our dog, Riley, is a maybe on going.  We're not sure if we are bringing him.  If we do, we will put his kennel in the camper, with his bark collar.  He sleeps all day anyway....

Or, the neighbor girl will watch him for us.

I see that I have made something simple into something that only us as the owners have to make right.
 Bob will be staying with Chloe. The ticket has now been given away!

 Trina will be staying with Chloe. So we will have an unused train ticket for sale. Jim?
