It's always exciting to make changes to one's (two's?) life(s), and our new digs and routines are no exception! Especially seeing as how this part of the world has seen no Spring, much less Summer! (We do realize that bits of wind and rain are inconsequential compared to some of the erratic and frightening weather many of you have experienced in recent weeks - we have been thinking of you lots...) Today, it is pouring out with temps in the mid-50s - not bad, but very boring for a June day... yawn... Anyhoo, we moved into the folks' RV about 4 weeks ago, so that the newly painted and carpeted "for sale" house could be shown free of our furs and claws and such! (we think these signs of our presence would help but... sigh...) So far, no bites. It's been quite fun (and challenging for the peeps) to live here, but we still go to all our familiar places and there are good paths along a large marshy preserve that we walk along every day! It's not bad and it's only til the house sells or September, when Dad retires! Besides, it makes us think of camping, which we all love to do and also, you won't believe some of the interestin' things that happen right out our window!
Above, you can see me curl up with my fave pair of Dad's balled up socks.

And here I am, curled up next to Mom, eyeballin' her under the table! (WE don't mind the rain... it's just the pawrents heheh!) The scene in the next pitchur happened last Monday - on Memorial Day. We were all outside, enjoying a (rare) bit of sun, when we heard sirens on the freeway that's not far away. And then more sirens, until first one Cruiser drove into this park, and then another, until there were FIVE! And then in through the other access driveway, came two firetrucks and a fire ambulance! Our sweet new "neighbors" urged us to get inside, so Mom hustled us up the stairs and onto the bed. Mom took a couple of pictures, but got nervous. Meanwhile, Dad was approached by an undercover cop (yikes!) and told to get inside! We watched as cops with pulled guns approached an RV. A Sheriff's car pulled up. A huge presence and still we have no idea what it was all about. Below is a quick photo taken out one window of the activity. On another day, a large truck pulling a giant fifth wheel trailer, newly arrived, was trying to pull into a space next to our sweet neighbors. As he began backing into his place, we heard a huge pop, like fireworks. To cut to the chase, the truck's tie rod failed and as it broke, arrowed right into the front truck tire and popped it. He'd just drive straight from Iowa to here in N. California. How lucky that it broke down when it did. I guess that teaches us to count our blessings all the time! (Sorries for all the text - lots to woof!)

Hi Y'all,
Looks like lots of excitement in y'alls life.
Y'alls peeps could be right about the paw signs in the house. I've found out that there are lots of people who don't like us. Some even say they do, but they really don't. I can tell.
Y'all come by now,

Good luck selling your house!

Wow, life in an RV sure sounds exciting to us. Best be careful if those sirens return. Paws crossed for the house to sell. Our Dad says he is retiring this year too. Mom says she will believe it when it happens.
Hope you are all having a good weekend with some sun.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
How much excitement can you handle.
I am glad you guys are alright and that your dad didn't get arrested.
I love all the pictures from your posts of all the places you get to go.
Glad your safe
Bert
At least all those sirens weren't there for you!! :-))) I hope your house sells quickly and you're in your new place very soon!!
PS: By the way, we sold our last house with 8 dogs, so I know the challenge and think it's great that you have a place to stay!!
Gosh, I am glad you are all OK! We feel your pain about selling your house. Our place is also on the market and it is pretty stressful. We are still living here,but myself, my feline siblings, and my bunny sister are all removed during showings. We pretty much all just pile into the care with my parents and little sister and drive around.
Hope we both have offers soon!
Your pal, Pip
Sure you enjoy scary and interesting adventures there!
I am sure you are having lots of fun!
Changes.... changes... they are good, right?
Take care
Kisses and hugs

And I thought I had adventures! Wow--a lot going on in your lives but I love retirement! That means even more adventures!!
PS: Good luck on selling your house--we'll be sending good thoughts your way.
We are hoping your next adventure will be of a different sort :( We are thinking of you!
Wow! That is some excitement! Make sure to stay safe!
Sam
Oh my, there are huge changes underway there! I bet that living in the RV is a challenge but y'all will make it fun - I know it!!!
I hope that you stay safe. No accidents or sheriffs for you. OK?
Wow, that sounds like a lot of excitement in just two days! Stay safe and good thoughts:)

Wow, that's the type of excitement you could probably do without! LOL Good luck on selling the house! We had a big dog when we were trying to sell our first house and we showed it with her in it. I figured if someone didn't want to buy our house because we had a dog, they could bite me, hee hee. It's not like she was going to continue to live there with the new owners anyway!
