I have been a firefighter for over 20 years. I'm just going to laugh off the idea of no risk in over loading an electrical circuit ⚡️?⚡️?⚡️?⚡️?⚡️?

That's why everyone just dumps whatever next to them.

They aren't made to keep bears away, they are designed as feeders because of all the garbage overflow.

Ha this is so true

The worst that will happen is you will trip the circuit breaker.

That would be the best thing that could happen lol????

Anyone else think the new bear proof trash and recycling bins and a pain in the  well you know

they are also to few and to far between 

You lose a lot with the 30 amp adapter.  A 30 amp rv system is 30 amps.  What most don't understand is a 50 amp rv system is two pole 50 amp so you actually have 100 amps of service.   So your not dropping 20 amps by using a 30 amp adapter you are losing 70 amps 

if if that helps

She is a genuinely beautiful girl, who is laying here with her head on my lap. 

She will be a service dog for my disabled oldest son. She has been a clearly a much loved and well cared for dog, and will continue to be, just by our family now instead. 

Thank you Roberta !!!!!

she a very sweet girl.  

I always clean up after my dog (s) now just dog ;-(.  But I'm sure from time to time one has pooped in the bushes around our site with out me catching it. I always worried that some kid will step in it    But then I'm always wondering why the parents of these kids allowed them to walk through other campers sites.  And then I also wonder how often they fall into armadillo holes and run into snakes.  But I still have only ever run into a few problems with other guest but mostly people happy to meet our dog(s)    

Joan is now at her new home

Thanks again for all the kind words.  I'm sure she will be in good hands 

Thanks for all the kind words and offers 

Joan and I just left waggin tails and it will be hard to let her go but it is the right thing for her and us.   Thanks again for all the pleasant messages and support 

Sounds like Joan the GSD will be going home to Roberta's on Sunday.   Thanks to all that helped.   And if this for some reason falls through I will let you guys know

Thanks Again 

Thank you

Andrew Roberts, 

We have discussed it as a family and we will give your girl a good home. We have no problem with having a dog with separation anxiety. The dog we rescued from a ditch had severe separation anxiety, although he is getting better. Three members of our family are almost always home. We thought he had been hit by a car, but he actually had tick paralysis and is healthy now, just a tad emotional. This is what put us behind in getting a service dog. He needed lots of time an attention, but he is now a strong secure dog. Can't be alone though, which is not a problem with our family. 

Because we live on a rural property, with our daughter & family in another home here, we have a good set up for dogs with separation anxiety. And, for the past six months, plenty of experience with one. 

The organization that will train is called Guardian Angels. http://www.medicalservicedogs.org/  Our son has already been approved and the best age to start training is 1 year old. This may be meant to be. What is her name? She will make a great service dog because she will be by his side 24/7. We considered training Blaze (found dog) but he is a few years old, not the optimal age to start. 

I can give you excellent vet references, and you are welcome to come meet us and see our home and property, and meet our other dogs if you like. We live in Lake City that is right off Interstate 75, if you go home that direction. We do live a good 20 minutes or so outside out town, but let me know what you want to do. If not, we can meet you somewhere to pick her up. I will also be glad to stay in touch with you with photos and updates. 

Roberta

I sent you a PM with my phone # please call me

What is the problem with her? I mean, what is she doing that you want to re-home her? 

We are eventually looking for a GSD for a therapy dog for my son. The organization, in Tampa, has already approved him to have a dog trained free. We live in Lake City, FL on 8 rural acres. We have a 15 year old Newfoundland, who is past her life expectancy and a young dog that we recently rescued who was paralyzed in a ditch. 

I'm not sure the rest of my family would be ready to take on a new dog yet, but maybe since it's the perfect dog for therapy purposes. We are home all the time. My daughter and SIL and two of our grandchildren also live on the property in a separate home. I would really have to talk to DH about it, and he is sleeping now. 

Is your pup fixed, shots, etc? 

 

Also Roberts

if you guys decided this is not the time for you.  Could you forward the info for the therapy dog group.  We would donate the dog to the group if they would train her and give her to a person in need 

All the above a great thoughts and thank you.  She is a very nice dog and we will do our best to re home her.  She is in need of a job she is a bored GSD and in need of something to occupy her time.   I hope the service dog life works out for her.  And yes we would try the GSD Rescues first 

She is fixed up to date on all shots and care.  And the issue is separation anxiety. Yesterday we were gone four hours she piled the bottom of her crate apart.  Once she got that open she eat a hole in the carpet in the middle of the rv. Today we were gone four hours again.  His time she pulled in the rug over the hole eat it then defficated in her crate and sent that flying 

she is a very smart dog but cant handle being alone 

So as a ha ha post a few days ago I mentioned this.   Now unfortunately I'm serious.  We need to re home her.  She need a younger family that can spend more time with her.  If there is a fiend willing to take in a beautiful and very friendly pure breed GSD.  Please let me know.   Only to a ligit good home!!! I can't seem to put a picture on here but we are at the fort now.  And we may surrender her to a shelter?   We are out of options with this dog ;-(.  We paid a lot of money for this dog but will give her away to a ligit good home.  

Just kidding but we're at the fort right now and brought a 8 month old GSD and god help us 

thank you for the replies

I know that my boat pushes a huge wake at anything over an idle but once it is up on the pad running, at say 85 or so, there is almost no wake at all. 

My dream would be to rip off a run across the water bridge, trimmed out and running close to a 100.

EPIC!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if any have ever used the Sams club Disney gift cards. I was thinking of buying 2 grand worth to pay at check in. You only save 6 bucks on $ 150.00 dollars worth of gift cards. But my thoughts is on an $1800.00 reservation it adds up for a free meal.

I know this is being incredibly cheap but a buck is a buck

Any thought or experience Thanks 

I think it ended when coachman went public traded in 2002 and now they are owed by forest river so no going back lol

The casino in Tampa just started charging $10 to park even if you are dining or gambling.

Sad very sad when the millions they take a week is not enough

We have had good luck with Casinos they don't seem to mind if you park and nap a few hours. And it fun to hit a slot or two before bed
