My dog Ultra is my co-pilot in my RV and on my Harley. When riding in the RV
she sleeps most of the time curled behind my chair or on the floor on the riders side.
In the Harley she rides with her head out in the wind or tucked in her foxhole if it is cold.
In the RV she has a crate (bed) with toys she retires to when she is tired or wants privacy.
If she ever need to go outside for a nature call she stands by the door and yodels or barks.
When we are out walking, she has a lease on her and I carry a plastic bag.
In case we should ever get separated, she wears an ID tag with my name, cell phone number,
e-mail address, and my son's phone number just in case I am traveling in a dead zone.
In addition I had her chipped for permanent identification in case she should be picked up
by the man or taken to a vet for treatment.

As you can see by the picture below, Miya, our Husky/Chow SPCA wonder girl, helps me make decisions on where to go. I don't know what I would do without her. She loves her daddy and her mommy and is very protective when on a leash and other dogs approach. I will warn other dog walkers that she is protective on the leash. Now, if it is a dog run she will play and play and play with other dogs as long as they are friendly towards here. She has been rendered incapable of having puppies and if any dog thinks otherwise, she will fend them off real, real, quick. She is semi-well behaved. Semi meaning she looses her focus pretty quick when I make her sit unless I keep Psssss'ting her. She loves people and I have to keep a tight leash on her when people approach to coddle her. What she does is try to jump up and play. I don't like that and I am slowly getting it under control. It's a lot easier when people go down to her level. (Then she doesn't have to jump as high. (Hee! Hee!))

I call the picture, "Decisions, decisions, where to go next."



P.S., I forgot to mention that I had Miya "chipped" also. And, she is so well behaved when we are not there she said, "I don't need no cage." (Doggie talk)

We travel with two dogs. Gus the wonder dog and ''Phineas Foghorn Farnsworth from Filidelphia'' Gus is the oldest and our first dog. He is fluent in four languages, a graduate of Harvard Law school and has his doctorate in nuclear propulsion. He loves a good Cuban cigar and a shot of brandy while he reads the Wall street journal. He is about eleven years old and he is my ''best friend''. He has the rare talent in that he can actually crack open a sunflower seed, eat the goodie and spit out the hull. He can do the same with raw peanuts. ''Phineas'' (Finnie) is a whole different story. He was a gift to me from Willa on my birthday a couple of years ago. He is so full of ''puppy'' that he cant stand himself half the time. Everything is ''play''. He loves to ''have a running fit'' and burn up the floor from the front to the back of the coach. We had hardwood floors installed throughout the coach and this gives him some ''stopping'' problems but the bed and the motor doghouse serve as bumpers for him to bounce off of. He and Gus are best friends and Finnie will institute play and a running game and Gus will stand and watch him make circles. Finnie loves to chase a ball or a pull toy. Gus mentioned that he seen no point in chasing a ball because it was a dumb game. We love our dogs and we always, always clean up after them. We have a special holder for rolled up ''poop bags'' attached to their leash handles. We love our dogs and we would protect them with our life if necessary. On their I.D. tags I have my cell phone number listed as well as my e mail address and the word ''REWARD FOR RETURN'' on there also. We had them special made with this info.We have a sign on our window in the coach ''IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, SAVE OUR DOGS''.....'' ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD''. Both these dogs are trained gorilla killers and we have never had a ''gorilla attack problem'' since we have been camping with them. I will post pictures of them later ....

Dear SeaJay, very cute story...please don't forget to take your daily meds.
Back on topic, we travel with two little dogs, Mia and Pixy. They are very friendly, and we find they act as a conversation magnet when we travel. People will stop to pet the dogs, a conversation is started, and the day is made more interesting.
Happy Trails to you all, and don't forget to pick up after the dog.

I have a springer spaniel that hates riding in cars. He paces back and forth in the back seat panting something terrible. i will be buying a motorhome this summer and living in it full time and want him to be able to adjust to being in the motorhome. Anyone have a similar problem that you fixed?

thanks
