This is what happens when you stop at Wal Mart

Saw this the other day - this is what happens when you park your motorhome to pick up a few supplies...


I believe there was a 3rd one roaming around also. Beautiful dogs, but I wonder what the dash looks like?

I love dogs but that's ridiculous. I don't even want to imagine the hair in that rig

We've seen folks with 4 collies in a mh and one with 5 cats. Can you imagine the smell inside besides the hair? My wife vacuums practically every day with our small dog and keeps everything covered and has the dog groomed about every 2 to 3 wks. I love dogs, but hate the hair shedding.

I have 5 cats at home. They don't travel with us. Our TT is a "cat hair-free zone."

Luckily, I have a 5 pound, non shedding terror! It's all in how she makes up for not shedding or being big....LOL. For instance, she loves to go in my purse and pull stuff out. It's a treasure chest! She's had a few whacks at my calendar, a nice whack at a credit card so it won't swipe (teeth indents), lipstick cases that look like they went through a war! Did I mention, I used to have three pairs of glasses, and now luckily still have one.

Not what I was expecting, "This is what happens when you stop at Walmart" I was expecting a shopping cart full of crap that you really don't need, or pictures of people we really didn't need to see, but laugh at anyway as we keep staring going WTF was that?

We have a 7 pound toy poodle--no hair, they have fur. Nothing to shed and won't bother most people that are otherwise allergic to dogs. We got her 10 years ago when we were full-timing, so she loves the mh, and is a great traveler, not a yipper!

Happy Trails, Forrest

I know people that take 3 birds. The really big ones. Long beaks with different colors. Like tiki birds at Disney. Rather have hair than feathers and crap.. Bought the only thing worse might be, let's see, pet ducks. Dogs ain't so bad. We got one and she is a shedding joy.

if you stop viewing them as dogs, and start viewing them as "self-loading emergency rations" it makes more sense.

I kid, I kid!

While travelling to Yellowstone last month, we actually saw more than one motorhome with large dogs on the dash, plus innumerable ones with small yappy dogs.
A good reason to buy a new camper rather than one that has been used as a dog run!

I've long said that my cats would make a great meal in the right situation...

My DH often says our cats are just about big enough for butchering. Kidding of course!!

We parked next to a Class A once that had 4 or 5 Basset Hounds that were taking turns doing the same thing.

Awwww, nothing like smiling Sammies to put a smile on your face. The nice thing about Samoyeds is that even though they have a lot of hair, they are not smelly at all

I wonder if they have to clean the nose prints off the inside of the windshield every time they stop somewhere.

Reminds me of something we encountered Saturday. Nice, *very* clean 2007 Flagstaff 5er on a lot near us for sale.

They leave the door open for people to check it out (shock) so we stopped just to look.

Everything was soooo clean and neat, except for....

shocking smoker smell as soon as we stepped in. And....they forgot to clean the ceiling fan blades....smokers know what I mean. Dead give away even without the smell.

Yes, we smoke (e cigs only now) but wouldn't have ever smoked in our RV, and we travel with one dog....doxy mix and doxy owners know that this breed has no body odor...amazingly this is true.

He's a long hair and I'm vigilant about cleaning because of that.

Although they do need regular brushing, Samoyeds don't really shed all that much. As a side note, their hair that is collected from the brush can be spun into a very soft yarn.
