KiwiNomad06 said:Paul, I met one young woman with her dog. She had a tent and was mostly camping, as there were very few albergues where she was able to stay. As the temperature got hotter, the biggest problem the dog faced was with its paws on hot tarmac- so she tended to take a siesta in the hottest part of the day and give the dog a break- then carry on again once it got cooler. Towards the end of the Camino, she was starting to wonder about how she was going to be able to transport her dog home again, and I think she worked out she would need to hire a car.

I've come accross a few Pilgrims with dogs , but they were single souls. Most of these pilgrims did have tents and Albergues almost always had some place for them to camp - they were content.
Apart from all the other good advice given , the Camino is through agricultural land - some of these people have 'Working Dogs' , dogs bigger than you have probably ever seen, and again , sometimes 2 or 3 together ..could you stop the fighting?? Your little Fifi could be torn apart like a feather pillow.
would I rather be met by a dog with a wagging tail , or a brat child ...... or a miserable screaming infant with a spoiled nappy................. :mrgreen:

Hi!
... We didnt chain her up, she was free to roam, if not on a main road.
...
her visible enthusiasm running through the wheat fields of the meseta chasing the birds was infectious and spread joy.
I gather that you are not overly fond of babies - crying or otherwise- Renshaw????Hey Renshaw.. tell us how you REALLY feel? :::laughing::: :lol:
Hi there,Hi!
I walked st jean to santiago in May with 2 babies and my 1 year old irish setter RUBY (coincidence!!!). Ruby LOVED it!!! We loved having her - her visible enthusiasm running through the wheat fields of the meseta chasing the birds was infectious and spread joy.
Take your dog!
We didnt forget RUby is a dog and I had no worries leaviong her alone whilst visiting cathedrals etc and of course she slept outside! Shes a dog! She had her own mat and blanket, happy enough. We didnt chain her up, she was free to roam, if not on a main road. She always stayed close. Dogs dont want to lose the pack.
She ate from the butchers and scraps from the restaurants supüplementing the dog food.
It greatly accelerated our relationship building too! She is a very important member of our family. Hope this helps x
It has been almost two years since wildroverwild visited the Forum.Can we email?
I suggest that you read it to the end and the reception the dog gets at the Cathedral, and the owner's reaction.
I second Renshaw by stating that IMO, babies and dogs have no place on the camino.I gather that you are not overly fond of babies - crying or otherwise- Renshaw????
why would the birds care? They can flyI'm sure the birds loved it too. Keep your dog on a leash please.
Not their young nestlings/baby birds in case of birds raising their little ones on the ground!why would the birds care? They can fly
Adding to @SYates response, from a conservation point of view, harassment by dogs interrupts birds' ability to feed and rest, (especially migratory birds) putting them at greater risk during their ongoing journey.why would the birds care? They can fly
