J, good luck with the hair dryer, mine won't stand for it, and it is so cold. Mallory always needs a bath but she won't get a full bath till I can put her in the baby pool in the summer.
It went surprisingly well, ran the hair drier a ways away and wiped her down with several towels. She is pretty close to completely dry this morning. So tonight when I get home from work I will need to brush her out. Little Bug was none to happy to get her bath and tried to give me the cold nub. But being how cold it was outside she quickly gave up on that to absorb dad's heat. I did not try the hair dryer on her, already attempted that and found out the true strength of a 7# dog.
Leaving for Fort Wilderness in 2 days. I don't know who's more excited, me or the kids (4 and 7). So much great information here. Thanks for sharing it.
Woohoo for my first post!
Welcome to the boards!! Have a safe trip down and a wonderful time! I leave 0730 on Saturday morning, but we don't push hard to get down there. Our plan is stopping in SC (reservations for point south made) and continue onto FW on Sunday the 14th.
Randy - Gladly take and use the FP unless someone else has already jumped on that offer.
Onto the pre trip!!! Now down to under 48 hours to departure!!!!! Word from the shop is the trailer has been serviced and golf carts are loaded. Just waiting for the family from PA to come down with their class C to hitch that up, they leave their car at the shop since we have two vehicles with us. I did get my hair cut (and I thought about waiting till I got there to get my haircut done at MK, but it was already 3 weeks overdue.) All the grocery shopping is done and as stated above the dogs have been given baths. It is down to one more load of laundry tonight and I can finish packing my clothes and items into the camper. I also will start setting up the truck, I have the dogs blankets all clean and ready, need to check fluids and top off the DEF tank. I really wish I could give it a bath too after the storm earlier this week the truck is just plain filthy. But with such low temps by the time I get home tonight I don't see that as possible. Guess I will have to see what I can do on my way south or once I get there.
Caren is bringing a bunch of her stuff tonight to load up. Her son has been home sick since Saturday so she just has not been able to get any errands done. He finally was well enough to go to school today and she is planning to run a few errands on the way home from work.
I can't wait to get on the road!!!!
