Here's some tips:

1. Let him find the box
2. Praise him well
3. Give him a big kiss
4. Give him a treat
5. Pat him on the head

Oops! Sorry,that was for my dog training class. LOL

As a DH myself, I would have to say that bribing me with sex might work.

:-p :-o :-)

So, you've met my DH? Boys, boys, boys....we know this works but we have to choose our weapons carefully.

Sounds like my DH, but the comment would have been followed by a "giggety giggety" and not three smiley faces!

You guys are too funny! I'm sure my hubby will be *very* pleased with all the suggestions, but he might give me a funny look when I go off LBing with my friends next time.

find a box along the way that has something of interest for him . . . .


I agree. My dh didn't like going boxing on vacation in FL either, but admits that the parks and locations we hunted in were beautiful. They were places we would have never found on our own.

Oh! And, he was pretty cool about planting our first LB. He thought that was more fun then finding them. When he has gone with us, he's impatient as we (me and the kids) stamp in. It's just better for him not to join us -- he's tried, but given that it's reeeealllly painful for him, I don't even ask now.

Good luck -- hopefully, something will spark your dh's interest. If not, enjoy it anyway!

Heck, I just drag mine kicking and screaming. Well, it's mainly just whining. And I've only been successful getting him to come once recently-twice if you count the mini-meet. He likes hiking, so I don't know what the issue is.

Quote my DH doesn't like lbing at all. he was annoyed while I planned to hunt boxes while on vacation - until we arrived at one location that was smack dab next to a small airport and had some old military planes nearby!


Maybe you should introduce him to my airport series!

I'm not an unsuspecting spouse *snicker* but I have found two of these in two different states and they were both great - for different reasons! Foxy Boy was highly impressed both times (but he's highly impressed a lot ;-)). And if I had had Dad the Muggle Fox with us, he would have enjoyed them both!

They're not ALL smiley faces... look again... let your mind slip into the gutter...

:-p :-o :-)

Sometimes I find the most entertaining ways to amuse myself...
