I am alone with 2 dogs. What happens if one of them dies while on the road? One of them is too heavy for me to lift. They are quite old.
When we were in Florida last winter, that happened to the single lady in a site near us. She asked one of our neighbors for help, and he in turn asked me. We removed the golden retriever's remains from the woman's coach, and with the assistance of the park office, located a nearby vet that arranged for cremation. The woman was understandably quite upset for several days, but a number of us, both men and women, sat with her until she was able to come to terms with her grief. I heard a month or so after we had left the park that she was volunteering at an area animal shelter. I think my point though, is don't be afraid to ask for help. RV'ers for the most part are a very friendly and compassionate bunch that will try to assist you if they can. Park offices are also a good resource in many cases.
