Thunder is back to his old modeling days. 15 and a half years old and he comes out of retirement to pose as the handsome model he always has and will be 🤘 can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but he can certainly teach me some stuff.

It has been so tough going through all our old photos and videos and finding so many great ones of Theseus.

The photo contest is still going, so submit your favorite dog adventure shots for a chance to win a Moab Lite and other outdoor gear for your pup. Just follow us and tag to enter.

Well, when it rains, it pours. Missing all our adventurers with little Theseus, and old Thunder is in the emergency hospital after we rushed him there in critical condition. The prognosis is not certain, but we’re doing everything we can and he’s hanging in there. I know this ain’t the end of old Thunder—he’s as tough as they come. If any dog can get through this, it’s him. But he’s still critical and despite my best efforts to stave off the worry, it still creeps in.

I’ve been scrolling through some of our old adventure videos photos and found a few gems. But lamentably, I wasn’t much into photography nor documenting our many travels all over the world together at the time. Now I wish I had. So take it from me: bring the camera, snap away, remember those wild journeys together that helped build the incredible bond you share with your pups. And enter your photos into our Explorer Series 2024 contest to win free gear. Follow us and use to enter.

We’re sounding the battle cry to all fellow trail hounds and mountain mutts AROOOOOO! DOGPAK is throwing down the gauntlet with our Explorer Series 2024 — a photo contest and giveaway for free DOGPAK gear.  We’re showcasing and celebrating all the crazy s**t you’ve done with your pups this year. We want to see your wildest photos, read your swashbuckling tales, vicariously share in your trials, tribulations, and triumphs alike.  
Here’s how to join the pack:
1️⃣ Follow  2️⃣ Post your best dog adventure photos from this year  3️⃣ Use hashtag:  4️⃣ Tag in your post

👥 Boost your chances! Share this post to your stories for additional entries
 👥 Tag your adventure buddies in the comments on this post—each tag = 1 extra entry (up to 5 max)
 👥 DOUBLE YOUR CHANCES immediately by registering and signing up for our newsletter at DOGPAK.com  🏆 Prizes:  🥇 Complete Moab Package—see post for more details  🥈 Moab Lite dog backpack  🥉 Leash and Collar combo  + t-shirts and consolation prizes for quality submissions!
 Contest ends Dec 1, 2024. Winners announced Dec 5. Multiple posts allowed!  Remember, your profile needs to be public for this one. We can’t judge what we can’t see.

Look, we know your dog is cute. But this contest isn’t about cute. We’re not here for your backyard fetch sessions or listless park strolls.   We want to see those moments of questionable uncertainty when your heart began to quicken and your mouth suddenly tasted like chalk as you began to worry slightly that this might not be the right trail back, and now you’re stuck on a volcano in a thick jungle on some island in the middle of Nicaragua while the sun is setting.  
It’s not about the photo, but it’s nice to have. It’s not about the story either, though it’s cool—fun to tell your friends around a campfire. But ultimately, those experiences are about the indescribable bond that grows between you and your dog, wrought in some shared adversity overcome side-by-side.

Good luck!

Remembering little Theseus 😢🌈

It’s been three weeks since we lost our Theseus—that little ball of energy and unadulterated joy who found his fated way into our hearts and home from an abandoned pig stall somewhere in southern Italy only some 20 months before.

Gone too soon, as is too often the tendency of those whom we love deepest.

He left his indelible paw prints traced across our hearts like footsteps in the sand of a solitary beach before sunset—a soundless apparition of a memory that once held the warm weight of a being so pure and perfect.

In my efforts to deal with and learn from my grief, I have been writing a bit more. Much of it is personal, therapeutic, emotionally charged. But parts of it have been helpful pieces of advice to help me remember how to deal with loss, embrace my grief, and still find some path toward healing.

I wrote a new article about that topic which is now published on the blog at dogpak.com

Autumn colors with little Theseus just before the first snowfall of the year. We had some great snow for the last week and then came a bunch of rain 😕 Hopefully more snow is on its way to the soon!

It's been brutal these last few weeks between Thunder nearly tapping out on us and having to spend a week in the Intensive Care Unit in Bern, and me stuck behind a computer screen everyday for 12+ hours trying to keep DOGPAK alive, learning different media softwares, and making marketing material. Holy hell, I wasn't built to be sitting behind a computer screen all day. It's one of the crucial aspects about starting a company that I have had to reconcile—that I'm going to need to put the time in not only to make the different graphic designs, websites, social media, marketing material, etc. but also to learn how to do that and navigate all the different user interfaces. I was going through old footage that I could use for a Moab Lite #dogbackpack video and naturally stumbled across old footage of little Theseus, who passed away abruptly and unexpectedly 6 weeks ago. It's a challenging exercise in contrasts to watch footage of him playing and adventuring and loving life. On the one hand, I am so happy to see his face smiling and grateful for the adventures we were able to share in his too-short 22 months in this world. On the other hand, it gets difficult to choke back the grief tears that inevitably form. I'm not a videographer. I'm not a marketer, a salesman, an entrepeneur, a web designer, a copy writer...I'm not any of the things I need to be to fill all the roles I do starting an outdoor canine gear company. But I sure have learned a lot, and I'm getting better. Here's a quick little video clip. It's not perfect, but I'm working on it and getting slightly better every day. #dogpak #backpackingdogs

Thunder the Wonder Dog being stoic and pensive as always, likely contemplating the ephemeral nature of our existential phenomenon and the implications of the arrow of time in what well might be a timeless universe. Or maybe just thinking about swiss cheese and sausages. I don't pretend to know the proclivities of wiser beings than myself. #lauterbrunnen #winterwonderland #adventuredog

It looks like autumn is coming to a close here in the #lauterbrunnenvalley Who is ready for ski season? I'm heartbroken I won't be able to ski with Theseus and continue his #avalancherescuedog training this year, but I know he'll be plowing through the new fresh snow up in #dogheaven 😢 And Thunder is a little too old and wobbly to come skiing with me, now that he's 15 and running on two bionic knees. How many of you have gone skiing with your pups? #skiingwithdogs
