I have told this story before, and I know that a motor home is very different from a pop up Skamper Camper, but, here I go again!

I lost my sweet Shrimp Boat because I thought she was miserable staying at home every time we went camping. We drove to a state park in SC, took Shrimp Boat and our Lab, Chuck, with us in the car, and when we got there, we took Shrimp Boat out and put her in the camper as soon as we got it set up. Nowadays, I would have used a cat carrrier, but back then, I didn't even know what a cat carrier was! She escaped out the door of the camper in the dead of night, when we were bringing things inside, and we never found her. I spent three days, knocking on camper doors, asking everyone I saw about my precious girl to no avail. She had tags with current information, but no one ever called.

Moral of the story.........I am with Terry. Leave Tubby and Peanut and when you get home, have a joyous reunion with them. I would never want anyone to go through the grief I did in 1989. Thankfully, Mimi joined me very quickly after the loss of Shrimp Boat, and boosted my spirits somewhat. And she is still with me today, at 13 1/2 years old. But I have never gotten over the guilt of losing her.

Glad you had a terrific trip, and welcome home!!
