Who's the boss?

We're full timers, and normally do a "major" move twice a year. It usually takes about 3-4 weeks to get from our workcamping gig to our winter home as we stop and see friends and relatives along the way. Our Jack mix, Roxie, pesters the **** out of us! As long as totes, etc are on the slide, she knows we have not "landed" and wants to go.....early! Lol! Normally she's my baby, but right now she's pestering Daddy. Guess she thinks he's the boss while we're traveling. Silly girl! :B:B

    I'd say she knows that he's a softie and will do what she wants!

    We're not full timers as we both still work. However the one that goes camping with us on weekends knows that when Dad brings the camper home and puts it in the driveway the next trip is just around the corner. He follows me around and whines constantly. When I am loading the camper he goes out and plops down on the couch and we have to literally carry him back inside. :S

    They assign "chores" to each of us? Mine will start bugging ME if I'm not in the kitchen rustling up some dinner by 6:30 PM or so...

    Anything construed as "packing", ups the excitement level about ten notches. By the day before we left for our 3-week tour of the Pacific Northwest, both were glued to me like velcro.....LOL!!
