Fulltime RV Life with Dogs
We travel fulltime in our 5th wheel RV with our 3 big dogs, Chloe, Duke, and Blue. They are all rescues from 3 different states! Chloe is our first rescue from Mississippi and she is a Lab/Husky mix. Duke was rescued in Tennessee and is a full-blood German Shepherd. Blue is our most recent addition who came to us while in Texas as a stray. He is a full-blood German Short-haired Pointer. In many of our posts, you'll find us discuss what it's like to rescue dogs, how we travel with them fulltime, what's like like on the road for them, how to treat and take care of them, and all of their adventures they take! We routinely post pictures and videos of them around the campgrounds, RV, and other dog-friendly places. We share common tips and tricks for keeping your dogs safe on the road including items necessary for your RV to monitor them and keep them safe. Duke, Chloe, and Blue as that you follow along on their journey! They promise to keep you entertained!

RV Life and Our Future Plans
We will likely stop RV Life at some point and have started looking at places to settle in. We have about 4 states that we’re considering, 2 in particular. As much as we’ve love RV Life, it’s almost time for us to hang up our fulltime travels.

The family that exercises together, stays fit together, or something like that.

Traveling with Big Dogs
Meredith and I were walking our pack this past Saturday around the campground and an older woman yelled out, “how do you get three big dogs to get along in a RV!?!?”. We just responded that they are well behaved, which they are, but they are lucky pups. 7 days a week they get 3 walks a day, totaling on average 2 miles. Meredith works with Duke and Blue on training commands & leash-less training too.

How to Integrate a New Rescue Dog into Your Existing Pack?
When training them (which dogs like Duke are ‘working dogs’ and love to train) it’s imperative to give them constant praise when they react or respond to a command correctly. This helps show them it’s more bonding than training.

6 Month Update on Blue: Stray No More
Ironically, that's RV Life summed up exactly for us. A chance to live a different life, one that is better than the one we had before but a future that we can wholeheartedly look forward to.
