Before I order the material for a set of UL waterproof breathable boxing 
mitts I'd like to point out something that I think some folks are missing 
here.  I don't think anyone here has anything to worry about concerning the 
type of hiker that would consider bringing or not bringing a dog along for a 
section, or attempted thru-hike.  Also I doubt the the folks who need to 
hear what is being said here are reading or even know this forum exists.  No 
one likes mean or seemingly nice phsycho dogs.  So there is not much we can 
do about some bozo who takes his dog or pack of wolves for a walk from the 
hundreds of PCT trailheads and connectors along the route other than to stay 
alert.  But watch out for my cat.  One second she's all purrs and rolling 
around all cute, and in the wink of an eye you got a razor gash in your hand 
and maybe some tooth punctures.  Not joking.  Love that cat anyway, but I'm 
not bringing her hiking.  I have enough problems without my cat chasing 
bears around on the Lyell Fork.

Buzz off Fuzz.

My loudmouth comment was posted over and hour before monty listed his 
stories. My comments were directed at people making threats against 
dogs/owners. Although my comments were not directed at you, they are now. 
You are a loudmouth and a braggart. And I'll tell ya: I don't give a f**K if 
you carry more than pepper spray, tough guy.
