Dub Dogs, let’s see them :)

[lebb2017]

Sadly we had to say goodbye to this one last week. Hardest decision ever to let him go, but the fairest one to him. No more pain.

@TeeCeeJay I’m so sorry to hear that
They really do become part of the family

Just wondered what people store their dogs in overnight.

Tessie sleeps in her bed on the swivelled passenger seat. I slide the seat so that it’s as close to the bed as possible, then she can jump across onto the bed if she wants to.

@Ali-G she’s gorgeous.

Just wondered what people store their dogs in overnight. We have a travel crate for the van when on the move but have been putting up the awning (outdoor revolution cayman f/g) to put it in at night and to keep her out the weather but this is a bit of a faff when only staying for a few nights. We have some pup tents (or 2 man tents in old money) that the kids use sometimes so thought we could put it in there but the wife thinks it maybe to enclosed for her. So everything seems too big or too small! Any ideas?

Scout sleeps on the RIB with Mrs GM, if I want to sleep, it’s the pop top.

He doesn't give a shit about livestock, but pigeons, will chase them all day long.
There was one above him in this shot.

My 2 collies are rabbit and squirrel chasers and one digs molehills for the moles.

Well just over a year since we lost the other van dog
Gone and got a new one
It was either give up camping or get a new dog for our travels

That is cuteness overload! It is so difficult getting another after losing one, you feel guilty for doing so but there is a gaping hole in your life.

We decided the time was right and everything fell into place

Our dogs are both around 10 years old and Mrs D made up her mind that she wasn't going to wait for the inevitable, she wanted an overlap..... and here it is!



we went to see him at 9 weeks old and although I was keen to get him I'm not sure it would have made any difference!
This is him at 18 weeks, a couple of weeks ago. I'd forgotten how quickly they grow.
He loves the van and jumps in at every opportunity.

This is Stormy in our van shortly after we bought it last year, I hunted down a comfy bed, a blanket to protect my precious leather seats and found a harness to seatbelt clip and a child's seat isofix strap to keep everything safe. We didn't know it at the time but it would be his only trip.



He was a rescue Chihuahua and had been horribly treated as a child's toy in the first 4 years of his life till he found us. Despite our best efforts the impact it had on him meant he couldn't socialise in public despite being a very loving character with family he knew. He could rarely join us on our road trips, we tried in the early days but it wasn't fair on him.

Sadly while we were away on our big Scottish trip in February he succumbed to his heart murmur while being looked after by MrsR's sister. Not unexpected at his age but not being able to say a final goodbye and bring him home one last time was hard to deal with, especially getting home to all of his things in the house.

He was very much MrsR's dog but I miss the little bugger a great deal; I'll rarely admit it in public but I'm glad he was part of our family for 10 years.

Give yours a hug folks, thier time with us is too short.

Some people shouldn't ever be allowed to own animals, but anyway, your little fella got lucky after a bad start and you did the only thing you can do - make the rest of his life as good as it can be.
I have a daughter living at home who works for a vets, every day she's got a story to tell and wants to adopt the latest signed over pet and give it a good life.
