We full timed in a 31 foot AS with 2 Great Danes.

Needless to say it was a bit tight at times. 2 huskies should not be a big problem as long as they don't get too wild. Look at it this way, if you break down you can just harness them up and have them "mush" you to the campground

Ntbob, You are a very brave one. Traveling with 3 visla's. My sister has one and we have a member of our unit with one. Getting into stuff is their most fun thing to do.

My collie PepperLee thought the Argosy was for her as a doghouse. I set it up for her as a 4 month old pup and she still gets excited at 12 when she sees one on the road. One day she went crazy until i pulled into a strangers driveway and had him show her the inside to prove it wasn't "HER ARGOSY". He was happy to do it and had a good laugh. This was my first experience as an ARGOSY owner interacting with the community. We have not had the ARGOSY in 6 years and she is looking longingly at AIRSTREAMS when we are on the road, time to start looking for a fulltime coach to keep her happy. A good dog and a solid coach...life can't get any better than that! JOEY

We've traveled may times pre-AS in other motorhomes with our pug Mac. He really seems to like it and would only occasionally bark at cars when travelling down the highway. Kind of the ultimate car chasing for him if you think about it!

When we brought the AS home he immeadiately jumped on board and claimed the "doghouse" as his own.

Our dog loves to go "camping." Just mention the word and he'll take toward the door!

They are very smart animals but when you've been around them for 12 years as we have they are part of the family!

Our dog was outside once and I asked him, "Paco, do you want to go camping?" We had the van at the time and it was parked in the back yard close to the camper. He looked back and forth between the camper and the van several times. He knew they had to go together to go camping. Then he went to the van and was waiting for me to let him inside!

I know that Xander will be a constant companion on RV trips once I've got my Airstream. He usually goes with me on trips up and down the California coast. We're both heading out to Utah this week. The best part is he never complains about the music I listen to.

We take our two kids everywhere!

Camping has always been our favorite and our Husky loves it! As soon as he sees us open the closet where the camping stuff is he gets all excited and runs to the door, ready to go!

His little sister, our Husky/Shep/? mix, was a stray for her first 6 months and very afraid of cars. Now, thanks to all the fun places we take her and her older bros company she too loves it and gives a little howl/bark everytime she understands we're off for a trip.

Cheers,
Kimili

Our travel buddies are: Sandy, an 8yr old Lab and Charlie a 2 yr old West Highland Terrier. They love to hit the open road and have a true affection for squirrels!

I don't recall who told the story to me but..

It went something like this..

This couple, while traveling, always took their Bambi with them on the trips but, they would stay in the motel while the dogs sleep in the Bambi`~!!
Now That's a "DOG's LIFE"~!~

Here's a photo of my Katie ... a 13 year old Long Haired Dachshund.

proxak · 08-23-2003, 12:01 AM

Silver City, that is absolutely the cutest picture! Katie looks like such a sweetie!!

Silver City · 08-23-2003, 08:23 AM

Katie is indeed a sweetie ... just turned thirteen a few months back.

Rubyacht · 08-23-2003, 08:53 AM

Is she a long haired dachshund? I just rescued a minature wire-haired male who is such a good dog and tiny. He seems to love living in an Airstream and having the wide open spaces as his yard.

Yes indeed, Katie is a Long Haired Dachshund (Tekel in German).

Hi All....
Although I have this week off work, Toby still thinks I gotta b up EARLY....GRrrrrrrr!!!......So he, as usual got his own way and we were out into the woods b4 7am, now we have lots of paths we can go, as with the horse-chestnuts falling, I avoid certain paths, as they tend 2 hurt his feet...
.....So we were merrily goin our way, until after abt 3/4 of an hour later, Toby came hurtling back down the track, and almost uses me as a bowling pin...what the *"+^-= was all that abt...as I reached the bend I stopped...stopped like I never stopped in my life b4...with Toby at my feet whimpering, looking down the track I saw this HUGE beast...so OK...the little gits let out the DEER...Mmmm...was'nt a deer...not the horses either...Squirrel...nope...this Huge beast was BROWNY-GINGER...and had TWO enormous HORNS sticking out the side of his head...Chit, I muttered 2my self...double Chit...only the ruddy ABERDEEN ANGUS...the biggest bugger I ever seen, What STUPID little Chit let THAT OUT...so we were abt 20 feet apart, ( not far enough )...So I rang it's owner, who owns the wood, he IS a nice Guy, ( only as he lets me loose with my metal-detector, in his fields, & wood..) DON'T MOVE..he screamed down my ear hole...don't move at all...a couple of hours later...ACTUALY mins, felt like hours...he pulled up behind me...calmly got out of his pick-up, walked over 2 "Angus"...roped his neck, walked him straight passed us, inches off his horns, tied him 2 his truck and set off REAL S L O W ... "Angus" jus slothed along b'hind...PHEW...
poor Toby was quite taken aback by all this...and his tail was so tight under his belly, he looked so funny, he did'nt care...he just wanted 2 go home and tell his MOMMY all abt it...funny thing is here...how a Doggy Biscuit can cure WONDERS...and I NEVER got one...Chris.....

Here's a more recent photo of Windsor. I think he may finally be "grown up".

He's been going crazy in the MH. He's ready for us to be done fixing it up and to get on the road. Truth be told, we're ready for that, too! The good news is that rally season starts next weekend for us!

rochsmama · 10-07-2003, 08:48 AM

I LOVE his ears!

My mom is not a dog person. She was staying with us in Indiana for the Covered Bridge Festival about 6 or 7 years ago. Caesar jumped on the front bed in the middle of the night. As far as he was concerned, she was in his bed since he normally slept there.

Not remembering dog commands clearly in her sleepy condition, she told him "down" instead of "off". He was more than willing to oblige. I took this photo the next morning. Nobody in the family would have believed Mom slept with a dog otherwise!

Wow, that looks so familiar! My Dane sleeps in the tiny AS bed with me too.

Thanks for resurrecting this old thread Julianne. I haven't seen this one before. I love a good dog thread, especially when there's pics! Here is my favorite AS dog, my good buddy Moose...taken by the light of the fire dancer in front of the AS.

Look at your sweet baby! My dogs love the Airstream as much as I do! For a long time I thought oh too much work to take all 3, oh no not the case. They are the perfect companions on the road. I moved from Seattle to Surprise, AZ so I had no choice but to hit the road with them and so glad I did. I swear everytime we hit the road I learn something new about myself and them. There is no place we can't go! And kids in RV Parks just love them, often find someone's young one snuggled up next to one of my "kids" who tolerate it cause they are so tired from all the activity. I am one lucky lady.
