    Sleeping with Dogs.

    I'm not talking about Coyote Ugly...
    Just wondered if when people go camping with their four legged friend/s ,
    do you have them in your hammock ? Or do you have some other sort of arrangement.
    I normally have 3 with me , so it's not an option for me.

    This is my doggy setup, but much like my own , I'm always amending/improving it to make it more compfy for the dogs.

    They look cosy and well protected, and I know they are well looked after. Nice picture.

    i take my dogs most times i go camping.. mianly because they are brilliant at hearing/seeing people before i do... so if i dont want to be distrubed they give me an early warning to keep my head down!

    Chuck mine in the tent with the wife and daughter whilst me and the lad sleep in the hammocks. That way when the dog has been rolling around in whatever he comes across my hammock and sleeping bag stay clean

    Great idea, but the Mrs will only sleep in a caravan these days ....

    Ha mine does that too, doesn't it Steve ;-)

    My little Spaniel is very insecure and I kept in on top of me, in my hammock, the last time and haven't repeated it since. She was just too jumpy and noisey.

    I may try again tomorrow (assuming the other guys don't mind), as I've spent a lot of time working on her confidence and interested to see if we've made any progress. I think I'd have her on the floor though, clipped to a line spanning two tries, beneath me.
