Seems Like A Long Time Ago

Blanche:  Wow where has the time gone.  What a whirlwind two years.

Otis:  Yeah!  Do use realize how much water we drank to be able to pee at lease twice on each spot we have marked in the last two years?

Blanche / Otis:  The following is just a sample of our travels.

Dad….aka Mike

They call me Dad.. aka Mike.  I don’t think any explanation is required.  As said in Deb’s post this is a life long plan and dream of ours.  I have been “retired” from work for a couple of years now on disability.  The job of getting the sticks and bricks ready for sale has fallen on my shoulders and I must say it could be worse.  The hardest thing to deal with is all the STUFF we have collected in the 35 years we have lived here.  Just have to remember it is just stuff and deal with it accordlingly.  I have been in the same area for 60 years and ready to try something different.

Mom….. aka Deb

  The Two Shih Tzus refer to me as Mom.  My real name is Deb.  After many years of work, child rearing, putting up with Mike and planning we are about to set forth on the next change to our lifestyle.  We have planned going fulltime RV’ing for many years now and with my retirement at the end of June it is time to get on with it.  For a couple of small critters they are a handfull and can be somewhat of a pain in the lower cheek area but every day they have us laughing with their antics so it is worthwhlie having them around.

Otis…..the bad.

My name is Otis.  I have a bit of Bichon in me.  It is a good thing I am a little boy at 2 years old other wise they would call me a Shihti Bich.  In have only one speed….full gallop.  I will steal it if it is not tied down.  I can chew the letters off a rubber tire.  I will eat it if it has an odor and I can swim with the best of them.   Dad calls me the “Navigator” because I sit up front and watch everything that goes by.  I love the truck… not like that crazy old black one that shivers everywhere we go.  My goal in life is to make her life miserable…..CAR!…..oops, just the neighbor.   Feeder says that it is a good thing that I am cute. I wonder what that means?

Blanche……the moaner

My name is Blanche. I am the older of the two of us at 8 years old.  I have some Yorkshire Terrier in me and yes… I can be a terror.  I don’t like change and I don’t like travelling in the truck or car.  I have been to the Arctic Circle and the Mexican Border.  I enjoyed the new places but hated getting there.  There is not enough gravol in the world to calm me down in a vehicle.  Mom and Dad call me Mona.  They say I moan alot.  I call it puppy humming.

The New Home

Blanche:  This is what is going to be our new home.  I have already spent too many monthes of my life in this thing and I’m not happy about it.  Darn thing moves everytime I get my territory marked.

Otis: Don’t look bad to me.  It’s got food and water and a place out of the rain…. CAR!….oops.. never mind…. not Mom.
