Some are not worth responding too....I don't place the responsibility of my pets on anyone except myself. Many nay sayers simply believe all dogs bark, all owners are irresponsible so ill match your 40 years with my own! For 35 of those years we've traveled with dogs, and yes, that includes tent camping. The whole idea of this thread was to suggest ways to come as close to assuring the well being of pets hence the suggestions of cellular based temp alarms, web based heat alarms and any other means to gain a bit of confidence in leaving the pets for a determined set of time.
I would have no greater expectation of any of my fellow RV'ers doing anything about a power outage for my dogs sake opposed to the same group of rv'ers watching the Rv burn to the ground knowing that dogs were inside. Some rv'ers think of no one or any living thing But themselves....Pet people tend to gravitate towards like minded groups...those that travel with pets! Soo don't worry your weary little heads, I for one wouldn't think of asking a non pet owning neighbor picking up a phone to help out another rv'er. My Gawd!
First, I never stated that "all" dogs bark nor that all dog owners are irresponsible. I base my observations from my own experience dealing with some that are.
Second, others, including myself, do take responsibility for unattended pets. It is the humane thing to do for any living creature. In fact, we had a coach burn in my park a few months ago due to a defective Norcold fridge. The first thing us non-dog owners did was force open the door to be sure no one was inside including pets. One doesn't need to be a "pet person" to have a heart.
So before you accuse anyone, especially me, of thinking only of myself, know who you are dealing with first, sir. Those that know me here for the many years I have been posting, know of my integrity and concern for others including pets.
Now "Gawd" you have yourself a nice day. :R
