Dog Care and Pet Care Merit Badges

Mouse:  There are two merit badges around pet care, with one specifically focusing on dogs.  Since we already have a dog, we decided to get a new pet in order to complete both badges. Or at least, when we decided to get a new dog, it sort of worked out that we could focus on both :) Allow me to introduce you all to Badger, our Bernese Mountain Dog mutt! Mouse:  Badger was found in a junk yard where he had either been tethered or where he retreated after being tethered.  He was found with a rope wrapped around his neck and body, surviving off whatever he could find in the junk yard and covered in ticks.

Wolf: I was in Canada for about a week, and Mouse found Badger online just before I left. I thought for sure I would return from my trip and have a new dog.

New Raven Scouts

This weekend, Wolf and I took part in a group camping trip!  Unfortunately, Bobcat couldn't make it, but we had a few other campers join us!  Some of our friends with children stayed in a cabin, and the rest of us camped out, with Gypsy and Badger in tow. We had a great time working on several merit badges including hiking and camping.  We'll definitely write more about that in future posts.  More importantly, we added a few new members to the Raven Scout fold! Cheetah, Puffin, Flamingo, Turtle, Bear, and Murloc joined the Raven Scouts to form an Asheville, NC chapter.  Meanwhile, Honey Bee, Egg and Owl joined the Carrboro, NC chapter.  Our dogs also chose animal nicknames as honorary members, bringing Badger and Dragon into the fold.  Be sure to check out everyone's bios and keep up with what merit badges have been earned on the Raven Scout Members and Merit Badges Earned page . The adventure continues... -Mouse
