đHappy Weekend Everyone! Check out this video to know about Van Life and Truckcamper life but also about a recent scareI had with my van and my puppy and later in this video issues with leashes from the Dollar Tree. Things to make you more aware. :)
Anything from dollar tree is a gamble
Thanks for sharing. You can buy her a harness that goes around her mid section and the leash connects to her back on the harness, plus your dog neck wonât get stuck on things with a collar.đ
Thanks for the tip! I have some and she might be fitting into them soon. :)
Thanks for sharing with Sitka. So glad she was ok after getting stuck:( Sheâs such a good pup, and I also get how you all will feel safer, and more comfortable in the camper when traveling! đđŒđđŒâ€
Van is cool for weekend fishing, or overnight trip- your truck camper is awesome.
Your hair is looking amazing, real full with a nice mild twist curl going on. Impressive for certain...
Thanks so much! I did get enough of a taste of the van to know itâs more of a choice between a tent and sleeping inside . I take the van over a tent . :)
Shes adorable...
My son has the same light kind of headset.
Start using the "bell" system for potty training. You can get the bells at dollar tree. They hang over doorknobs or can be velcroed next to the door. My dog is 9 1/2 years old. It was suggested by my sister. No potty pads at 12 weeks.
I would not camp in a van with a dog, transportation is okay. Definitely get her used to transportation.
Hopefully camping I would do the truck camper
Ask the vet for medication for extreme scary conditions. My 9 1/2 dog is now scared of fireworks, thunderstorms and heavy rain. It get worse as they get older.
I think you got this especially with a quality harness and leash or tether.
Thank you for the suggestion. I did buy a bell and am training her for potty . Itâs not the hanging kind because my
Cat would play all day with it hanging by the door . đ»
I've got a headlamp like yours and I love it. My Brooke loves the Bullysticks too. Great music you picked for getting that seat out, by Yourself! đđđđ
Thanks đ
Iâd say, you are one awesome, Van seat, wrangler.
Wow, thanks!
Very scary that she got caught on seat belt!Thankfully she was not hurt.
Food grade Diatomaceous earth is great to kill worms in pets to!...Took 3 months to get rid of them in my kitten...đ

I give Sitka a bit in her food once a day everyday.
I got the same pink one for my cat. And I saw it is glued. I think I will try to sew it. Maybe it will help. I love your van. What kind is it. I need to get something bigger. I have a Kia soul. I couldnât go camping in it. I could in your van. Good luck with your new dog.
My van is a 2003 Astro Van . I took care of my uncle before he passed and then he left it for me.
@@SimplyRVing that is what I need. I am always hauling thing in my Kia. Thanks. It would be nice to camp in. I know what your saying. I canât walk on my knees. Anymore. I went up in my loft today to do some things. I have to put something under my knees.

I really hope you do more underwater videos at some point, I just watched your older ones they were really helpful to me!
Probably not for a while I broke my wrist this year and still recovering after the surgery. Iâm glad you enjoyed them older videos . :)
@@SimplyRVing As a recovering aquaphobe they really helped me so much! I wish I could keep my eyes open underwater like you lol
Put her in a harness. Get her use to it while she is young..ie training her to carry a pack .. ie working dog
I was planning to work her up into that after she is 4 months . She will be that next week :)
God can protect you and your animals, regardless the thickness of the walls. Truck camper or not, just trust God.
i sleep in a cargo van in south florida for 3 and a half years, with both front windows open and God takes care of me.
Dont live in fear. Just trust God. Yes use wisdom, but when u done did all that you can do, Just trust God and be still and know that he is God.
Stop at a shoe repair or a leather goods repair or maybe a boat cover repair and see if they can stick the leash and you will not have the glue worrie.
Hard to find those repair places these days . Good idea anyway.
@@SimplyRVing yes all these places are going bye-bye. We are limited in life to Walmart, target, and Amazon. Itâs now a take it or leave it. Maybe a Taylor with a heavy duty sewing machine will do it. But it might not be worth the work and the drive plus what they charge you.
I just thought that maybe a police uniform place or a gun range could point you to a place. Put for repair price you may be able to buy a brand new high quality one.
Stitch not stick
What you going to do with your house
Keeping it. I like coming back home after 4 months on the road. The road can get to you after a awhile and having place to come back to is so important in these times. :)
@@SimplyRVing I can't stand being out more than a week cause I'm broke and I struggle to get by on the road
Well Dollar Tree is known for cheap junk!
Dont blame the dog! Animals/dogs pick up your stress, so if you are, they will too. Try not to be. Also, spend time with walk routines, normally dogs like to walk and sniff then mark terrotory. If you dont establish a routine for them, you'll have a retarded dog. If possible, dont use the leash, try to make sure they obey without leash, once they dont, leash goes back on. Try it again a different day with no leash. A leash is basically punishment. Like a human with handcuffs.
Sit on the floor with your dog, NOT on s chair, on the floor. Pet him, just hang out. Thats how they become less stress and you too as well.
Feed twice a day. Try to give em pure meat (cooked ground beef), not cancer dig food.
Good luck!
I do all that daily on my 3 acres . One stressed day does not account for the other 6 in the week . :)
