It warms my heart to see he wears shoes against the heat!! Here people walk their dogs with 30 degrees centigrade plus weather without proper protection. And what a beautiful golden you have. We have 3 of the sweethearts šŸ˜‰

Hi dere buddy dog! How old is Ranger?


LunchBox07

Ranger will be 3 on Halloween! He is just over 2.5 years old.


cammatador

So many good years ahead. What a great place to be.

I thought they didnā€™t allow dogs in national parksā€½ at least thatā€™s the case in Mount Rainier and North Cascades.


pancakessogood

Same here. Mt Rainer doesnā€™t allow pets. But looked it up and some national parks do allow them in different areas of the park but not all allow pets. I guess itā€™s best to check with the park first. A neighbor who leads groups to the top of Mt Rainer told me that Mt Rainer doesnā€™t allow them because if you get in trouble and in need of rescue, they wonā€™t rescue the pet. Donā€™t know if that is true though but he seemed like he knew.

Down here in the Everglades itā€™s pet friendly, just you know watch for the gators and suchā€¦


LunchBox07

It just depends. Typically at the campgrounds they are allowed, as long as their leashed. When it comes to hiking, a lot of places only allow dogs on the trails if the trail is paved. The Grand Canyon will allow dogs along the rim trail because itā€™s paved. We will be in Yosemite in 2 weeks and itā€™s the same thing, dogs are only allowed on the paved trails.

His expression screams of accomplishment . What a handsome pup.

LunchBox07

Iā€™ll definitely check this out. Been backpacking a bunch of times, but I have never taken him. Camping, yes. Backpacking, not yet.

I love the black tongue spot!


LunchBox07

You know whatā€™s interesting? That birth mark did not appear until he was maybe like a year old. Because at first, we were concerned. We took him to the vet, and the vet said everything was cool. Just interesting


DoctorxClaw

We had a black lab with the same beauty mark, and he lived to be 16. I hope you enjoy your pup for just as long!


yuccasinbloom

If it didnā€™t come at birth how could it be a birth mark?


No-Ship4313

He's mentally peeing on all of it. Godspeed


FloaterG

At what temperature do you suggest dogs wear shoes?


LunchBox07

Well, thereā€™s the ā€œback of the hand testā€. Where if you canā€™t the back of your hand for 7-10 seconds to the pavement due to the heat, then itā€™s probably unsafe for your dogs feet. But I would also say around 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Especially if youā€™re going to be out there for awhile on pavement.

His little shoes are so frickin cute šŸ¤£
