Geocache Description:

***Ignore the posted coordinates, they indicate only that the cache is located in that general area. You must complete the following crossword puzzle to figure out the waypoint. Final coordinates are about 6-8 meters west of actual cache, due to poor sattelite signal. GPSr will probably be a bit jumpy. Terrain isn't too bad, except for the last part.***

This cache is an ode to all of the wonderful dogs I have worked with over the past several years. Their skill and dedication have enriched and enhanced the lives of many deserving people.

"Puppy Love" is, therefore, a dog-themed cache that includes many doggy-related items. The cache is located in a darling little area that fido is sure to enjoy, as well.

Please take a picture of your furry friends enjoying the cache location and add them to your post.

p.s. there is a collapsing water bowl as a prize for the FTF.
