Need help.
I want to take my Sheltie on a long trip in the Husky this summer.
Can someone here tell me where I can find a doggy headset for him to wear?

That book saved me from the brink of insanity in a cabin for one month. There was nothing else to do at night but stare at the fireplace. Awesome book.sky's the limit wrote:the definitive Ashely Book of Knots
Then I took the plane to town for an inspection one day and bought a fender strat, and life got a bit better.

That book is probably one of my favorite things I got from my dad after he passed away. I remember him waking me up in the middle of the night when I was 5 to teach me how to tie a bow line.Northern Skies wrote:That book saved me from the brink of insanity in a cabin for one month.

I seem to remember it references a "noose" also being called a boy scout knot or something along those lines. I got shit at scouts when I tied one. I'll have to dig my book out to see if I remember that right

Tying knots can really cut into your net worth, a couple of knots I tied sure cost me, but at least a couple of women reaped a real harvest.

Should have stuck to STL's plan with the shelties. It's probably cheaper that way.
Never had a sheltie, but I could talk all about cougars.

Here is a picture of my last Sheltie, Captain Wilbur Wrong.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e353/ ... 010671.jpg
Wilbur went into space two years ago but I now have a new one, he is learning to be a pilot at a very fast rate and is ready for his security pass now.
He wears Wilburs gold bars with pride.

Re: Need help.
Cat,
I've heard that dogs can adjust the level of their hearing by tensing and relaxing their inner ear drum. That's why even though they have very sensitive hearing they aren't constantly bothered by everyday sounds.
What this means is that when your dog goes flying with you he will relax his inner eardrum to a point that the sound is comfortable for him. Doggy ear muffs shouldn't be necessary.

Glad to see you back, Sarah, good to see that even we can't dent your armour.
My dog won't wear his regalia, he much prefers business casual.

I think you're talking about the 'acoustic reflex', which applies to all mammals. I can't find any reference to anyone who has actually measured the accoustic reflex in dogs. The closest is this article, which seems to be saying that dogs suffer from noise-induced hearing loss in the same way as humans:SarahLovesSeaplanes wrote:Cat,

So, if you care about your dog's hearing and he/she flies with you a lot, it's probably worth investing in something like Mutt Muffs.

Wish I still had it... but if I ever find a real job, I'll go buy myself another. It's amazing....
As for the doggie hearing, everyone I have ever asked says YES, do the headset.... I have a friend whose dog has flown for years and he wears them happily. Of course, maybe it's not a true test, as he has an IQ of about 180, too.. (the DOG, not the pilot....)

Re: Need help.
It's a great book, was on sale from $115 down to $79 so I scooped it up for the old library. I might photocopy some of the pages for the trip, we'll certainly have enough time...

Re: Need help.
Hows things going Sarah?
You should go into chat some evening there are sometimes more women than guys there.
Are you flying a float plane again this year?
If so I will try and drop in and see you if you are near my path home this summer as I will be doing a business trip to St Johns NFLD with the guy who I fly the Husky for. My workbench and the dog will be flying down on the airline and we are going to bring the Husky back at our leisure so I plan on visiting as many people as I can.
Will be paying a visit to Hedley to give him some tips on how to improve his flying skills.
In return he is going to brief me on how to interact with TC.
So let me know where you will be so we can visit you.
Our new dogs name is " me too " and he rides in his booster seat in the baggage compartment in the Husky.
Any idea where I can get a doggy porn video for " Me Too " to watch when he gets bored with the trip....like all male pilots he needs something to occupy his time when he is in an airplane and he has high value interests.
