Re: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
I don't have anything planned until May. My mom passed away last month and I am still dealing with things. Need to go through her house and get it ready to sell. Not fun but needs to be done. Hopefully we can get away for a weekend soon. Burch9Views0likes1CommentRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
We are heading to New Orleans in 3 weeks and I have a bunch of stuff to get done to the motorhome. Need to change the oil in both the engine and generator. I also need to replace an end cap on my awning that apparently came off the last time to drove the motorhome. Seems like it's always something to do or fix on the motorhome.50Views0likes0CommentsRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Had a scare with Monty. He quit eating last Friday. He tried eating grass outside and had bad diarrhea on Sunday and Monday. I took him to the vet on Monday and Monty had lost over a pound since his annual appointment 3 weeks ago. Monday and Tuesday he still wouldn't eat except for a piece of bacon, which he ate Tuesday night. We would drink water so we got some of that Gatorade water that is full of electrolytes. He seemed a little better yesterday morning and when we got home from work, we gave him some soft dog food (which we had tried to get him to eat for several days). He ate all that we gave him! I didn't want to give him to much since be really hadn't eaten in several days but this morning he was acting back to normal and wanted his treat when he came inside! That made me so happy as I think he is over the hump now. I know he can't live forever (he is 15) but I sure hope I have him around for a bit longer. I can't wait to see him when I get home today. Hopefully he will eat some more. Burch50Views0likes1CommentRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Hopefully a few are still here. Monty had his 15th birthday on Friday. I have to take him and Pinto to the vet next Monday for their yearly appointments. Monty is doing well, however his coughing is getting worse. The vet said they might have to change up his heart medicine. He is still getting around just fine and seems to feel fine. He jumps around after I take him out wanting his treat. Pinto is fine and it 14 now. ZuZu will be 3 years old in August and is FAT! I don't see her eat that much but she definitely needs to loose weight! We are going to Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral next week for the 4th of July holiday. We always really enjoy Jetty Park. I think there is going to be a rocket launch one day while we are there. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Burch62Views0likes1CommentRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
We just got back from a 9 day trip. Went to Key Largo and then to the Brighten Seminole reservation near Lake Okeechobee. They have a casino and an RV park. Had a really good time but now have to go back to work tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it.... Burch79Views0likes1CommentRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
We took a local RV trip this past weekend. I purchased a new tire monitoring system (Tire Minder). It works with your smart phone. It worked very well on our trip and I am happy so far. Poor Monty still hates riding in the motorhome. He loves being in the motorhome, just doesn't like it when it is moving. He will be 15 years old in June and he is starting to have heart problems and him getting so stressed out during the trip worries me. It will be a long trip when we go to the keys and I hope he is OK. Burch90Views0likes1CommentRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Here is the problem with Jolly Roger's. Right from their website. A MAXIMUM of 2 pets per RV Site. NO EXCEPTIONS. I have 3 dogs and most of the RV parks in the keys don't make exceptions. The one place that does, is Keys Palms in Key Largo. We stayed there last year and during your stay, if you want the same dates next year, they will hold the site for you until you check out. This might be a yearly trip as we really like it down there. I do wish we could find someplace closer to Key West as Key West would be a fun day trip. It's a two hour drive from Key Largo so I'm not going to waste a 4 hour round trip to get there, although the drive is pretty. Burch53Views1like0Comments
