Friends just retired and left for a 3 week Motorhome trip. I week in, wife emails my wife and says everybody in the campgrounds have dogs! So is it people who have dogs travel in thier RV's or People who travel in RV's, like a dog for extra company?

Some have dogs that polish your rims, and some don't. I prefer those that actually know how to own a pet. Why do people think I care enough about their pet or them to let it mess in my site or on my stuff?

I'll get slammed for this, but I think it's a socialization issue. In the 60's to probably the late 80's, you rarely saw a dog in a campground. People came out of their RV's and socialized. Then the dogs started to appear and the people disappeared. They only came out when the dogs needed to go.I think people turned to pets versus socializing with other people which is sad. Then the pets became their kids and soon they were showing up in stores and restaurants, in shopping carts and sitting at the table. I know many with pets will deny this happening, so it must be all the others that don't RV that don't understand how disgusting it is to put a dog into a shopping cart where people put their food or into a restaurant where people are eating. Before you flame on me, I had a dog for over 55 years and two labs, one pet and one working dog, up until five years ago. The difference was, I knew that my dogs didn't belong in restaurants or stores and not everyone loved my dogs.

Yep. Read our signature. The cause of death on our death certificates will read, "Died of a hairball."

The last reservation I made, the guy just couldn't believe we had no dogs, and would never camp with dogs. Must be just that common.

I taught my hunting dog to also fetch me a beer. So now when my DW is grouchy I can just leave her at home. :B

Main reason we bought a MH was so our dogs could travel with us. If people don't like it, well poop on them.

So many dogs are smarter than their owners. When I encounter a smart dog I praise them. When I encounter a stupid dog owner, I enlighten them.
If the the owner's aren't smart enough to see the obvious, I understand.
The dumbing down continues.

We have one dog and one reason we love the RV is we can take the dog with us. Would we have the RV if we did not have a dog - yes.
