Camping Dog

Greg and I are going backpacking in a couple of weeks and we thought it'd be fun to bring Spartacus this time =) So Sparty is now the proud owner of saddle bags and a doggy tent, haha. It's not quite as spoiled as it sounds, I promise! When you're backpacking, every extra ounce counts so bringing the dog adds weight (mostly his food) so Spartacus will be packing in all of our food and maybe his own tent (we have yet to see how heavy it will all be) to pull his own weight. And since our tent is a 2 man backpacking tent, there is no way that he'd fit inside, thus his own small tent. We hope that camping will be a Ross Family tradition, so this is all an investment for the future!

Here's the dog with his saddle bags . . . he's not too fond of the tent yet . . .
