I'm taking my dog to Afton tonight with a couple friends from HF. She can't get enough of the woods now.

Have fun with you pup!

Boo to you! I was going to Afton tonight, but had a last-minute change of plans. Hopefully we'll bump into each other out there sometime.

I just got home from a snowy night in the woods. It got down to 18f, but I was toasty warm with my pup Kiba in the hammock.

Catch you on the next one.

Don't know why but mine doesn't want anything to do with the hammock. Think I need to buy her a tent.

My teacup pomeranian was up with me this morning watching the birds fly around. He loves to sleep in the hammock.

On the otherhand… my 2.5y/o Pit tries to get in. She’ll put half her body down to her hind legs in resting on my chest and lay there for long times! I’ve tried to help her in but she just can’t seem to work it out to make it ALL the way in!

Some dogs do… Some dogs don’t.

You have a schipperke? I have 2 and they're both very hammock friendly pups. My German Shorthaired pointer would love to get in the hammock too but he's just too big.

My 20+ lb. Schnauzer loves the porch swing with me, so her first opportunity to get in my hammock with me, in she came and settled right down. Now she waits just until I sit down and in she comes, a born hanger.

Any suggestion on how to hang with a Newfoundland? Or should I just get a seperate hammock?

How does your dog get out there? I need to know this!

Back on topic: Our 1st dog Tonks (Tarrier/Spitz mix) will hop in for a few seconds and then bail. However, I have the feeling that Remus (Auzzie Catle/Spitz mix) will be more than happy to crash in the hammock.

I am not a marathon hiker, and he loves to walk. It's more like a run for him, but he will pull you the whole way. He goes on walks around the neighborhood all the time for a couple miles at a stretch. When I take my Goldwing he rides in a carrier on the back seat. In my avatar he's out with me on my kayak doing a little sailing. He's been snow camping with us too. Overall he's a pretty active little 2lb dog.

I wouldn't even bother with a dog that big.

Just get a pad and put it on the ground next to your hammock. He'll just love being that close to you at night.
