In my post of July 29th, I mentioned the woman with lots of dogs that was parked beside us at the Roseburg, OR fairgrounds. Yesterday at 3:15 pm she pulled into our 7-space county rv park in Scappoose, OR and parked right beside us. Again. We are so thrilled, you just can't imagine!
Her pickup has a 16-dog capacity; how many she actually has we don't know. Lots. In Roseburg, she had at least 6, all of which appeared to be black labs. Trish talked to her briefly, found out she trains and/or buys and sells the dogs. She keeps the dogs fairly quiet although they do go off on a barking binge occasionally. We're leaving here today so we'll survive regardless.
Cruddy picture, too far away and too dark, but you get the idea. There are 8 cages on each side with a storage area top center.
I gotta say that I'm not impressed with the situation: several large dogs living cooped up in metal boxes too small for them to even stand up. How long does she haul them around like that? A brief period, hopefully. What a great life. If I were one of those dogs, I'd be seeking an opportunity to bite her in the butt. BIG bite! Once started, I'm sure I'd find it difficult to stop - as would my fellow canine prisoners.
Are we traveling in some kind of time warp or parallel universe? This is the 2nd deja vu all over again event of this trip involving RVs that reappear in campgrounds 100s of miles away from the initial sighting. The Geese came first and it was a treat to see the rig 4 different times; twice for the dog lady is twice too many.
*In case the (mis)quote isn't familiar, it's Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. Great old classic movie.
What a strange coincidence. Scappoose can't be real famous for their small campground; did you accidentally tell her where you were headed?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like much of a vacation for the dogs. What is the point of her travels, I wonder. Recreational?
Not recreational. She's all business, traveling to shows or competitions or sales or all the above.
