camping pet hates
Re: camping pet hates
I have a new one after trying repeatedly to get Syklist Junior to sleep before 10 pm during this summer tour. Successful "Family campings" in general and ones in particular where they decided that the ideal location for the bouncy cushion (in use until 10pm open for all) was right next to the tent field (well away from the more lucrative season pitches).
So long and thanks for all the fish...

This happened today. Dog not under control pissed up a tent (not mine) I had a go at owner who did a pathetic attempt at trying to clean it. Unfortunately no staff around and tent's occupants not there. Really think dogs should be banned from campsites.

Last time this happened to me the Horse walked over the tent and me! I was bruised and tent had damage.
Frightening experience.

We were in the NF having a picnic this weekend. One pony decided to gate crash our rug (must be used to being fed) and my friend's collie, feeling the pony was too close went into attack mode. Only to be hoofed in the ribs! That pony knew what to do. Guess you've got to be careful, no matter how 'cute' they look.

Hi,
Natural reaction for hoofed animal...................one of my old dogs got the kick but managed to react soon enough to divert the touch........he yelped in anticipation.............
After that he was very cautious, and we let it happen so he would learn.
Ever seen a Zebra do that to a Lion........can kill for sure.
Dartmoor has more than its share of do gooders feeding the neighing cattle with carrots and sugar lumps
Keep your windows wound up...............got annoyed one day when a minibus stopped in road to allow children to fed the pony's with sandwich crusts............

Ticks..... On a lovely campsite with nicely grazed grass to sit on.... But ticks everywhere.

YES! Lovely campsites in the Netherlands last summer... but... I'd read the Guardian article about ticks before I went, and there were notices up in the campsites, and little grey ones kept crawling up my legs. Ended up pulling a bit of my leg off with tick tweezers 'cos I thought it was a tick.
