Agreed!!  When there is a camping event, I take my dogs; All four of
them. Or I don't go.   My dogs are penned or on leash when they aren't in
my trailer.  The children of the Western Region enjoy walking my dogs (on
leash of course).  They are all told, "If the dog makes a mess come and
get us so we can pick it up. We don't want anyone stepping in dog mess.

I have only been approached one time about my dogs and that was when they
managed to get out of the pen (one of the youngsters didn't fasten it
properly).

I enjoy camping with my animals and don't want to interfere with anyone
else having a good time either so if my dogs are causing you heartburn,
please tell me. Doesn't that sound reasonable?

Speaking up is a good thing.
