I've been meaning to make this thread for a long time now. I've mentioned in bits and pieces over the years that my husband and I are fulltime travelers/RVers, who travel from coast to coast and everywhere in between regularly. Most of our traveling is based on a seasonal work pattern we have set up and follow every year, though we are opportunists, and have jumped on unexpected offers that have lead us to new adventures at the very last minute. During down times, usually early summer, we simply spend our time doing more or less whatever we feel like. We have a full solar system set up on our trailer, so we do a lot of boondocking in BLM (public land) and are still able to get electricity quite literally in the middle of nowhere.
Our dogs have been with us through it all. A lot of the questions I get from people are usually how our dogs enjoy this way of living, how they handle travel and living in a small space. The simple answer is that they absolutely love it, and while I can babble on and on about all the cool things we've done, I just don't think words can do it more justice then pics, and thus this thread is going to have quite a few of them.
The thing I've come to find is that so long as you are taking care of their needs, they adapt very easily. All the people and places they get to experience aside, they simply seem to really love being with us constantly.
My husband has been hitch hiking the country long before I had met him. We met online, and he hitch hiked from AZ to NH to meet me in person. While traveling through Nashville on his cross country journey, he found Charlotte, when she ran into the open door of a friend's house, starving and beat up, apparently having been in some dog fights. But she was still in good spirits. She stayed with them for about a week and wouldn't leave, despite having the freedom to. When the owner of the house said they were going to dump her on animal control, my husband decided to keep her and take her with him.
My husband and Charlotte the day he officially adopted her. This was taken by the vet who spayed her
