Interested in doing the RV thing? Then you've got to get a dog. I'd say by the looks of the locals, two out of every three RVr's (is that a word?) have a dog. They are the ideal travel companion for someone in the close confines of a RV.
What brings people together? Children and pets. Since a large majority of the rv travelers are of the senior population, their kids are older and have moved on. What's next in line? A family pooch! Or two. Dogs are a great conversation starter. They love to "say hi" to each other, and although we as humans do it in a much more refined way, it opens up the doors for conversation starters.
We've got a pooch, a small mixture of sorts. He's a rescue who's nice and quiet. My youngest loves to dress him up and play games with him. Thankfully he never seems to mind.
Be prepared for the barkers and yappers! Ours rarely says a word and when he finally responds to a local barking dog, its with such a hilarious non-intimidating growl that I'm just glad he's showing a little gusto. We have a dog park inside this RV park campgrounds. Yes, our pup thinks he can run with the big dogs. Not happening.
Our immediate neighbor has three small dogs and one bird. Another local has a black large dog and a black cat. The cat does wander but always comes home. Another friend here has two very large dogs, about 100 lbs each. I have no idea where they hang out inside an RV, maybe each have their own chair.
The puppies have it made-in-the-shade around here. I am oh-so grateful that mine sleeps during the day, likes a small walk, and sleeps all night. No yapping here!
Where you find RVs, you will find dogs.
