to bring you Makena’s Musings!!!!! Hi there, I am Makena, a very cute 6 1/2 year old Jack Russell Terrier.

Hi there!!

While my parents are away working at Amazon, earning money to keep me supplied with treats and toys, I thought I would take over the laptop for a day and talk about a dog’s life in an RV.

I was very happy in our “old life”, at our house. We had great neighbors, and the kids would always come and play with me. Sometimes they would chase me around our house, trying to catch me. I’m pretty fast and they could never catch me. But I see they are now winning awards at school, so they would probably catch up to me…..maybe!!! (congrats to Joshua!!)

After my parents sold the house, we moved into an apartment, which I hated. There was no place to play off-leash, and we had no furniture, as they sold all the stuff….

depressed in the apartment

But then we moved, again, and settled into our RV, which I immediately loved. My parents were a bit worried, but I had windows, windows, and more windows!!! Dogs, and cats, need windows to keep up with the world.

Bedroom windows…bonus!

The only problem I have been having is with storms…I hate them.  And in an RV, you can hear them really loud!!  In our old house, I could go down into the basement, or at least under the bed.  I don’t have either option in an RV, so I improvised!!

storm shelter #1

The first night it rained, I went into the shower.  I thought it was a great idea, and safe, but my parents told me it was the noisiest place in the RV, because of the skylight in the shower, so I have been banned from the bathroom.  So then I went to plan B:

storm shelter #2

Yep, I thought crawling under the recliner would be a good spot, but that went over like a lead balloon.  I got dragged out from under my safe spot:(

I am still in search of a good shelter…there is no place under the bed, and the closets are small.  So far, this is my only complaint about living in an RV.  Other than no storm shelter, I love it here!!!  I get several walks a day, there are plenty of people around that will pet me and tell me how cute I am.  And my parents are really trying to find places I can play without wearing that stinking leash:)

I love to play!!!

I plan on blogging occasionally, when my parents are too busy.  This week they are still on 7 1/2 hour shifts, but starting Sunday, they go to 10 hour shifts.  I will have to cross my paws!

Oh, and another place I have been banned from…..but look at the nice window I had!!

banned again!

Take care….Makena!
