Chihuahuas and other woes
Yesterday Glenda, one of the workampers stopped by to let us know that our forwarded mail had been mistakenly delivered by the post office to the neighboring campground. That was nice of her. When I opened the door to her, Chester, our 6 lb Chihuahua, slipped out the door. At first I wasn't worried because he doesn't go far. However, I didn't realize that Sassy, the campground owner's dog, was right outside too. Sassy is a Golden Retriever mix and we think daddy must have been a Curly Coat Retriever because she looks just like one. Sassy sticks close to Don and his golf cart, running loose but Don has excellent voice control and Sassy minds well. Don and Sandy are gone out of town for a family funeral, so the workampers are taking care of Sassy. Glenda had Sassy with her on the golf cart when Chester dashed out the door.
Chester has the typical Chihuahua 'Napoleon complex' -- thinks he is ten feet tall and bullet proof. He's bossy with our dogs but they all get along okay. Well poor Sassy didn't know what to think -- Chester charged right up to her, growling and sniffing her, acting all huffed up. Sassy turned away but he kept after her, even following her when she got on the golf cart. I finally was able to grab Chester - he gave a doggie "I could have really beaten you up if my Mom hadn't stopped me" comment. It would have been funny, except I didn't know Sassy's tolerance to small bratty dogs. One bite and good bye Chester.
Our RV refrigerator has gone on the fritz. At first it was just not cooling like it should. After calling the factory for advice, Doug ordered a 'thermister' part, thinking that he could do a relatively quick fix. But yesterday it stopped working completely. We found an RV mobile service guy who can do the repair and he will be out tomorrow (Monday). Good thing it is still under warranty. For now we have moved our frozen foods to the campground rec hall freezer, and we got ice to put in the fridge which is now temporarily an old fashioned 'ice box'.
The truck has a large multi-arm crack in the windshield, the result of a rock thrown by a passing vehicle. Buena Vista has a mobile glass repair and they are coming Tuesday to replace the windshield. Our deductible is $100 so that is what it will cost us.
So all is well; we are getting off pretty lucky considering.
