In truth, I don’t think I’ve ever lived or traveled anywhere that I didn’t find helpful people. But you have to have a bad day to find them sometimes. 🙂

Your tips are a great reminder that we should be prepared for anything, all the time. You just don’t know what life is going to throw at you some days.
I’m so glad you got all the help you needed, and that Honey was such a good girl through it all!

I remember reading about your adventure. So glad the pups did you proud staying with a stranger. And how nice was that mechanic?

What an adventure–I’m glad everything turned out well in the end. We had a similar experience when my car broke down on an almost-100-degree day on the edge of a turnpike over an hour away from home this summer. We were so thankful to end up at a mechanic who let the dogs stay in the office while I went to get a rental car when the driver who came to pick me up to get the rental was not going to let the dogs in the van–and I was very thankful that the girls were well behaved when I locked them in a strange room and left! All of those lessons were very helpful for us as well–especially the water since it was so hot and my a/c was no longer working. I’d definitely prefer to never be in a situation like this (or yours!), but isn’t it nice when all of the training pays off?

So glad that our pain helps you feel better on a bad day. 😛

I suspect that boat life is subject to more mishaps (actually, I prefer to call them mister-haps) than RV life. But RV life is far more dangerous. So we know who the real adventurers are.

That is the craziest day I’ve ever read about. And I’m sorry, but I’m laughing out loud! I’m so glad that you’re all okay, and I will bookmark this post for a day when it feels like everything is going wrong. Because a bad day in the RV is still not as bad as having your dinghy sink. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like you handled being locked out of the house just fine. 😉

You might be surprised at how many crises you could handle. Although I hope you never find out.

With no-one to help me, i tied him to the post on the porch and had to climb on the bin to get over the baxk fence. Luckily the back door was unlocked and Merlin was quite happy. I was the one fretting about leaving him tied up.
In a crisis i freak out so i don’t know how you handled it so well.

Yep, I didn’t write that every time I knew Mike wasn’t going to drown, I ran up the ramp to make sure Honey was still okay. I’d hate to think of some evil person stealing her.

One good thing about getting in trouble is that you learn that there are kind and helpful people everywhere.
