Sika is such a wonderful dog, she really touched my heart when she came up to you while you were crying. WOW! She really loves you and is already a devoted and loving puppy. She loves you and will protect you for sure. I love watching her 😍 👍 You're doing a great job with her 👍 It will be ok. 🥰

Thank you for noticing that too as I did while I edited the video. Yes she is a real good guard dog at home and it’s just traveling that she will need to learn to do that in the camper as well over time. It’s a process that takes devoted time. :)

Whatever RV you decide on you need to have an RV Inspector look it over & find any hidden problems..with their experience they know what to look for.

I agree . That last one I saw had some rust underneath and some white splash marks I couldn’t understand what those were . The seller was also very unapproachable so I moved on. :)

😂😂😂😂😂Your dog is a hoot😘

Lidia, as we grow older, time goes by so much quicker. The first 3 years for a large dog is the hardest. The three years will pass and Sika will have half the engery she does now. Also, Sika could be coming into her heat, teen large dogs are hard when so young. You're doing such a great job, and a great pet owner. Awesome content as always. Hang in there!

Thank you so much for understanding that . I too believe her heat cycle is coming soon and after that she will be spayed and probably settle a bit after that. This is my first big dog in almost 30years :)

Yes for sure on the spaying with calming her some too. It doesn't get easier once we near retirement age. I'm closer to 70, and I could not do a small breed pup today, not after having large and small all my life, not to mention hamsters, pet rat, fish, turtles, birds. I have a hamster now. I will retired hamsters in probably 5 years too lol.@@SimplyRVing

I thought of the tv tray too but my dog is still too clumsy as a pup so I decided against that option . :)

I had a beautiful black lab Shadow that I still cry over 😢 but she hated going for rides. I only did short rides with her. But life thru us a curveball with a job transfer halfway across the US😒 The long ride was rough on all of us. But after the first day on the road hauling our 5th wheel she became the the best pup companion. Yes she barked at times but physically she learned to relax while driving. In time Sitka will chill. She just needs time❤ I always look forward to your adventures and learning experiences. Good Luck it will be okay ❤

Thank you so much! It will all work out in the end I’m sure but the puppy teenage years are real .😃

Sitka is a very intelligent guard dog and I believe that what is causing her the anxiousness, may be her trying to find out who/where/what are talking to. I had dog who couldn't understand the cell phone when I used it. So protective she had to understand everything. Lol Great Video Lidia! God Bless you two. 👍🙏💝🇱🇷

I have a pickup. My dog is about the size of yours. I made a comfortable bed for her in the back. I folded up the seat. Anyway, while drive she sleeps back there and only gets up when the truck turns. I took her everywhere as a puppy. In the summer, she prefers the back as the windows are tinted and it's slighly cooler back there. She's all black, too. Golden retreiver, Australian shepherd, border collie mix. Sh j6st turned four. They make barriers for between the seats so she can't come up front. I don't need it anymore but definitely used it for a couple years. I bought it on Amazon.

I’ve been thinking as you did for your dog that she might like the back seat . I may try her there and see if she prefers that. :)

We lived in our rv for 3 months before we found a house when we moved back to Texas from Nevada. We had 4 cats and 4 very large dogs and a Min Pin. That’s a real test of metal in real time, lol.

I get it. I had to put both of my pups down this past 6 months I miss them so much. I haven’t gotten another dog yet. She has been born. Got 8 more weeks. I’m not used to puppy energy anymore. You’ve got a great dog and you done a great job.

Thank you . It’s been hard to not compare one from the other but that’s on me and not her. She is a good dog and I love her but that doesn’t mean I won’t miss my previous dog. Just like you it takes time to heal from that loss. :)

I tore out my breakfast nook and replaced it with a jack knife sofa , then took out the sofa and replaced it with patio chairs and small table. Now it has a small dinette table with two chairor.. big lots is a good place to buy rv furniture, , but a bad place to make a decision.

Reset the tap it cover with a special spatula tool made for this job and reset the tappits. This is a mechanical Engine job. An oil job is an oil job has nothing to do with The mechanical job. Buy a mecmanuel on yor specific year of vehicle and look up to see this tap it cover of the valve job. If this does not get done , your valves can get rounded out of shape, and turn into an egg shape instead of a tubular shape in 8 pistons. All the motor parts have to be temporarily removed off of the motor in order to unscrew the bolts to the Lid of the motor In order to the certain tap- it lid cover to reset those 2 and also check and reset others as well. I'm a 3.9 average learner And would also help my husband while he was working on any of the engines of the vehicles And as how I learned about how to do this resetting of the tappets lid cover valves. Again if you order the mechanical manual for your vehicle, you will not be so much at the The mercy of. Mechanics whose will rip-off and do unnecessary jobs. On peoples vehicles when not needed just for kicks to make money for their bosses businesses. Take care..

Get her professionally trained, then you will have some command control in stead of no control.

@SimplyRVing

2 ай бұрын

I will if I feel she needs it but right now at 8 months I think I can handle her. At home she is really great but this camping rv stuff for her in a small space is going to need adjusting too. Rving adds a whole new layer to regular training. :)

You now have a hunting dog who needs constant hard running to chase things till she is worn out. You may have wanted an mature lap dog, instead of a Lab pup.

I do walk her daily and she runs on 3 acres . I also take her hiking 2-3 times per week.I did know I wanted this breed but it’s been a learning curve for me too and I’m taking those steps to accommodate her high energy needs. :)

I understand how sore your eyes are. Mine have been that way looking at truck options and Class B RV's myself. I'm not sure yet what I want because I still have faith my truck will come around and I can keep my set up. Florida is not Tiny home friendly unless you are at a campground . I know I have been looking at that option myself for a rental on my property. :)
