Sweet! - nice looking animals. To me a dog(s) is a required piece of outfitting gear.

Where are those pictures taken?

Happppy Happppy Dogs!!
Where were you? I caught a glimpse of your cart; since my recent neck surgery doc says I need to go easy on lifting for a good while; which cart is it, if you don't mind me asking.
Thanks for sharing your pics,
Leigh

They are my son's dogs. They stay in a pen at my house. It tears me apart emotionally to see them penned all the time. Yesterday I took them to Cadron Settlement, 5 miles west of my house, and we paddled to a sand bar in the Arkansas River. Just above Toad Suck. It allowed them a chance to run free. I am going back out this morning. This time, as soon as we get on the water the leashes are coming off. One of these days they are going to the Buffalo with me.

The cart is a Paddle Boy Heavy Lifter. It is better than a second person. I know exactily what it is going to do and I have it carry the heavy end. The way I use it is not the way it was designed. but it works perfect for what I use it for. I normally take it off once the canoe is on the river but since this was just a short trip I left it on and it came in handy setting the canoe up to provide shade for the dogs and me. If I think about it I will take some pictures of it today and post them here.

BTW, the white dog is a husky named Cherokee. The black is a mixed breed named Aztec.
