Glad I Didn't Get a Dog
Some of you might remember that a few months ago I sent a post saying that I was a solo RV'er and was wondering what peoples' advice would be about getting a dog. The responses were in a slight major...

It's definitely a personal decision and both ways are right-for each individual. I can't imagine life at home without a dog, but when we travel we have a tendency to go out for longer periods of time. We had to cancel a weekend away because Jesse got a skin infection and couldn't be boarded, so from that respect dogs can be a pain in the gizzard. On the other hand we're headed to Bar Harbor in October (renting a cabin) and I can't imagine going there without them (cabin owner allows pets). It's no one's business to criticize another for making the decision either way.

Yes, I make concessions for my dogs when RVing - but I make concessions for them at home, too. I enjoy my dogs enough to be happy to do this.
I also believe that RVs can be targets for thieves... when a bunch of us are parked at a Cracker Barrel for dinner, I'd bet if anyone messes with my door and hears "GRRRRRRRRR" from the other side - they'll go try a different door ;-)
