rescue dogs fair enough..... but taking dogs in is retarded imo..... especially if they dont get cleaned up after. never mind a thread about smoking in caves
no dogs thread plz
anyway..... my spaniel pup would be in and through peak before i'd even got the kit out of the car lol
Our two spaniels enjoy exploring with us and have been in many caves and mines. We always clean up after them in the unlikely event of them requiring it! On one trip in Box I found a doo-doo that I thought I had missed them leaving. Only after bagging the present did I spot the abandoned tissue stuffed in a crack, together with the abnormally cold nature... :yucky: :yucky: Oh well at least the mine is a bit cleaner now!
They always need a good clean after, being springers they just love getting wet and muddy, the knack is finding a dirty dog friendly pub on the way home! Our two are well trained and dont run off (mostly...) above or below ground. So I say, dogs in caves and mines, provided commonsense is used, is perfectly acceptable.
BTW, hows the rare moss doing on that waterfall at Lumb - havent been there for a few years, last time in a drought when it was looking very dead.
