Relocating south, heated tanks or not ?

MB might be a bit iffy the way the climate is moving all over the place, but the add-on heat pads could solve that problem. We go to Lakeland, FL toward the 3rd or 4th week of March every year. The past couple of years it's been miserably cold and very windy. Overnight temps got just to freezing, but warmed up a bit by mid morning. If you're thinking further south I wouldn't be concerned.

Question? Are you thinking of moving into a retirement type community or an RV Resort type?? We were mentally packed and ready to go when we came home last March until we found that virtually all communities like that are limiting newcomers to no more than 2 dogs. Current residents were grandfathered. We had 5 at the time, but only admitted to 4 since Mickey was so old and we didn't expect him to be with us. So now we're at 4 and still unable to make the move we want so badly. But our doggies trump the move, so TN is still home and will be until....hopefully a long time. Something you might want to check if any of this applies to you.

I'm glad to see you have your priorities straight. Love me love my dogs. We have three and that number will not change, we have a three dog limit in our town.

We just got our third dog in January this year, she's a ten eyar old American Staffordshire Terrier. She was in doggy jail October year when we got home from our trip. I kept checking the SPCA web site and she was still there at Christmas. I told my wife we are going to let her adopt us in January if she is still there.

Since getting this sweet little lady we have talked about what happens when we lose one of the kids and have agreed that we are going to adopt seniors now.
