Current Goal

Most dogs love people, and this one wants to meet your family. Introduce him to your family, tell them about your caching obsessions, and then move him on. Caching gives you something to talk about. Good or bad, your family is a part of you. Call them, talk to them, take a picture of them. You'll be glad you did.

About This Item

Herbie

This is a simple but very special dog. When my hardworking grandfather (Herb) retired, he traveled, golfed, and helped his family & friends. As he aged into his 70's & 80's, his health slowed him down and he took up whittling. He carved canes out of broom handles and gave them to his aging friends. For a while he tried to whittle dogs like this one. When you move this little dog, remember your own grandfathers and, if you can, give them a call or send them a note. Mine influenced my life in ways I didn't even realize until after he died. God bless all grandfathers... and go, Herbie, go....

Technically I discovered this lovely pup's PHOTOGRAPH in a cache's gallery. Herbie was visiting GC2DN67 in 2011. Sorry to hear he went missing. It's heartbreaking when a handcrafted heirloom is shared but not respected. Hope he is returned to you somehow.

We found 2-6 of the WA Geo100 tour today! Spent the day touring Whidbey Island with the Cajun Cachers from TX starting our journey through the 100 WA state parks. Picked this up and can bring it across the Cascades next week or sent it down to TX in 1 1/2 weeks.

I checked yesterday and this has been picked up. I like to give those who pick up trackables reasonable time to log them, but it isn't fair to new searchers for the cache inventory to be wrong. I hope he logs the find and places this back in circulation soon.
