Ashes, the RV Dog



Many have asked how Ashes, our dog, enjoys the new rig. She is LOVIN' it! She took ownership right away. She loves the dash as you can see by the picture. She also likes to look out a small window that is at the passenger feet. She uses that to watch cows. For some reason, she has taken a liking to cows of all color. She watches for them and then goes absolutely nuts when she spots some. She whines and howls and jumps at the window.


Ashes loves the rig so much that when we are home and she is asked, "Ready to go camping?", she jumps at the door and wags her stub of a tail about 100 miles per hour. The other day we took her to our rented lot for a little time at the rig. She was really wound up as we were driving down the lane to our lot. (About 10 miles per hour) She got so excited that she jumped on Dad's lap and then right out the window of our truck!


I thought we had surely lost her. Dad saw her bounce a couple of times and then stagger to her feet in the side mirror. I jumped out and walked to her expecting the worst. She gave me a look that said, "Boy, was that dumb!" I felt her limbs and then picked her up. She was breathing very hard. I walked to our site and put her down to examine her. She immediately had a bowl movement! Dad says that brush with death literally "scared the crap out of her!" She then ran around as usual and never showed any worse for wear. Dumb dog!
