We put the "House on Wheels" in storage today!

Saturday, November 12, 2011

Well, today was a BIG day - Mom and Dad packed up the trailer and moved everything to the PUD, then we hooked up the trailer and put it in storage.  I guess that means we are finished traveling for a while.  WE have lived in the trailer a total of 425 days - 58 of them at this camp site at the Gold Dust West RV Park.

We have spent the last few nights staying in the PUD and it's been really nice - we aren't tripping over each other anymore, and I can go in and out to do my business and get some fresh air ANY TIME I want!  All the new appliances have been installed and now Mom and Dad can cook again - it's kinda nice to have home cooked food again, but I might miss those little white boxes Mom brings me from the restaurants.

Mom said she's not sure if she will be helping me with anymore posts on this blog, but I know we will have another one when we take our trip to Alaska with Duke and his Mom and Dad in August, 2012.  Be sure and check back here and we will show you the link if there will be a new one for the Alaska Blog.

Well, it has been quite an ADVENTURE and as soon and the dust settles in the PUD, Mom and I may have more to post and maybe some pictures of our new digs.

Hope you all enjoyed reading about my ADVENTURES for the last year.........

Until later, thank-you for logging in and thanks to all of our family and friends for their support and help during the last year plus........love you all!!

Moving day!!!!!

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Dad said today is MOVING DAY!  YIPPEE!!  I guess Dad is going to get a BIG truck and some guys to help him move the BIG stuff out of the storage unit.  Mom said that when they get the bed and the linens, she and I will make the bed and we will be able to sleep at the PUD tonight...but I'm getting ahead of myself. 

For the last few days Mom and Dad had been working like crazy (and I have been supervising) trying to get everything ready.  Dad said, so far, we are right on schedule.  Dad spent days down on his hands and knees putting in the new tile floor in the kitchen...Mom cut the tile and Dad glued it down.  Then they moved to the new pergo floor in the dining room, so that is done except for the molding around the walls.  A few days a go a guy came and put in the cable for the TV, computers and the phone - but, we don't have a TV, computer or the phone yet - they are in the storage unit!  Yesterday a plumber came and put in a new gas line to the kitchen for Mom's new Duel Fuel Range, and Dad did the waterlines for the refrigerator and the dishwasher.  Mom said we won't get the appliances until tomorrow.  Mom also installed the new coffee maker and can opener, so now Dad can have his coffee and I can have my dog food if it doesn't have a pop top on it!

Yesterday I decided to go a little exploring on my own - Dad opened the garage door and I snuck out for a little while - boy, was Mom ever mad at me!  I found this really neat place one house down from us - it's sort of a pit where all the water goes when it rains hard and it's all fenced in - I jumped in and couldn't get out and I heard Mom (she was saying bad things) and she saw me trying to walk on the rocks.  She got me over to a hole in the fence and was able to pull me out.  Even tho she was really mad at me, I think she was glad to find me - I was sure glad she saw me because I wouldn't have been able to get out of that pit by my self!

Here are a few pictures Mom has taken - she hasn't had much time for this, but this is what we have:

This is Me checking out our FIRST snow - of course
I had to make it yellow!

Here I am guarding the trailer and truck that morning.


This is the view out of the "slider" at the PUD.


Mom said she is very happy to have a view!


The kitchen is really small - this is
where the range goes - Dad was in
the middle of laying the tile.

This is my NEW Doggie Door - it's a little tall, but I can
hop in and out just fine - this is the second one - the
first one was too small and I hit my shoulders going
in and out.


I'm supervising Dad while he grouts the new floor - notice
the new pergo floor he is laying on!


I guess that's it for now.  Mom said she will try an do better to help me with the postings, but she made no promises because she said we have to unpack our stuff.....
