Favorite Lazy Daze Pets August 29, 2017, 05:52:01 pm Two of my best friends are involved in various rescue programs and between the two (2) have 5-6 dogs. So today, while having lunch with these friends, I shared my DW's passion for dogs especially smaller dogs. I mentioned that our daughter and granddaughter have a Morkie, who sometimes visits us. Each time this little Morkie visits us, DW's doggie heart opens a little wider. So after a bit more lunch time conversation, one of my amigos mentioned that he has a friend who might be able to help Margee find a smaller dog that doesn't shed very much.If I had been smarter, I would have left this topic alone. But I'm not smarter.So I shared this lunch-time conversation with DW (if I had been smarter...). LDOs with 4-legged kids probably know the rest of this story. DW would REALLY like to follow-up with my amigo's friend to "just check it out." So if we actually meet this other person and also take a peek at a rescued dog well, there is not doubt that somebody will follow us home. We may need a bit of guidance from those who travel with pets ... probably!And so it goes. 7 Likes

Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #3 – August 29, 2017, 06:48:05 pm Can't really go wrong, especially if the kids are all grown and moved on. Dogs fill that vacuum very well. Since the late 90s, we have never taken an RV trip without at least one pooch, and often with two. We go large, though. Our guys and gals all weighed 65 - 90 pounds, all LOVE/LOVED water, and love long hikes in the woods and/or desert. Oh, and all of our dogs have been rescues. Never had a bad one. 4 Likes

Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #7 – August 29, 2017, 10:13:58 pm I use the dinette for the dogs too. It was hard for Max the labradoodle to get comfortable on the single bench with the table up but I didn't want to fold the dinette completely down because I use the table a lot. My solution was to place two bins under the table and then place both cushions for the one bench seat down and tie them together with two ratchet straps. I then folded an extra towel on top of each bin to level the cushions. This makes a stable bed for Max and I can use the table. It is also easy to dismantle if you want to use both seats on the dinette.By the way the little dog in the picture is my daughter's and not mine. He and Max are best buddies and when I visit they hang out together all the time. 5 Likes

Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #13 – August 30, 2017, 07:25:04 pm If the new pup sheds a lot, he'll fill the vacuum, you'll empty it, he'll fill it again, you'll empty it, etc....Chip 6 Likes
Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #14 – August 30, 2017, 10:24:55 pm Just read this story elsewhere ... one more thing to add to the checklist!QuoteSome friends with a TC had a dog that went everywhere with them. On one trip, the wife let the dog out of the TC for a walk/break while the husband was fueling up. After fueling, they got in the truck and headed down the road. 1 1/2 hours later, pulled into the campsite, and checked the camper...no dog! Wife thought husband had put the dog back in the camper, husband thought wife had done so! Got back in the truck and headed back across the desert; when they got off the freeway, the dog was sitting on the curb, waiting patiently for 3+ hours for them to return!I'd say this couple was lucky. 4 Likes
Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #15 – August 31, 2017, 02:00:02 am Ed,Not sure if I've shared this tail 🐶. We loved our shelter/stray dogs for about 18 years. Time passed too quickly and we had to say goodbye. How many times did they say farewell or welcome home over those years? Countless.We were fortunate to have one of them to mentor two new family members to the house. I feel we rescued them as well from an unsure breeder. While I was at work one day my DW found a new family member at a doggy adoption at Petsmart. The sweetest little blind Morkie you could hope for. Our recent trip to Big Bear found the whole family in the LD. Myself, DW, DD two Multipoo's and our little Morkie, Muppet.What a special time it was. Walks through the woods and along the lake. Brandy, Yuki and Muppet had a wonderful vacation with their human family. Here are some shots of their first of many adventures in the LD along with a pic of our earlier welcoming committee.Kent 9 Likes

Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #19 – September 02, 2017, 09:36:23 pm So, Ed, you started this...now we're left hanging. Did Margee succumb to puppy fever, & if so, where are the baby pix? Lynne

Did Margee succumb to puppy fever, & if so, where are the baby pix? My friend's contact is out of town for a few weeks so we're waiting for them to return. On the other hand, Margee is more than ready to have a small "something or another" in her life. So right now, we're waiting for the contact person to return while we remain alert for a possible rescue. I'll certainly post pictures should any of this actually pan out. Take care. 2 Likes

Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #23 – October 24, 2017, 10:00:29 pm Many of us love, tolerate, or at least co-exist with cats. I'm cat-less at the present, but here are some photos of the last one, Bad Little Kitty.Bad Little Kitty (Bad Cat) loved being out on boats, playing in the water, attacking the tail of the 106lb. German Shepherd, sleeping on top of the 85lb. female German Shepherd, and biting and attacking any human within reach. I don't know why we even kept him, but we sure miss him.Post a picture or two of yours?HD 8 Likes
Re: Favorite Lazy Daze Pets Reply #24 – October 24, 2017, 10:30:00 pm Harold,Here goes. When I was a kid we had a Russian Gray named...wait for it...Sooty. When he was, unfortunately, laid to rest, we got Mother Cat a Calico who was well loved.When I moved away from home my GF and I got a Calico we named Canada. I loved that name. Now Sooty (Two) is chasing mice...and lizards...and birds...and rocks...and sticks...just about anything to entertain himself. Sooty’s brothers are no longer around but I have pictures of Sooty with his brother, Mink. Here’s Sooty being a good Big Brother to his family. Enjoy.Kent’s 7 Likes
