I watch a lot of different videos. In one I saw where you can't take apples over the Canadian border. Make sure to check what you can an can not take over the border, so you don't spend money, just to throw things away.
Honestly it happened so fast I've got whiplash. No...We can't keep Trinity Ok we can keep her but She's not allowed on the furniture Ok she can be on the couch but she's not allowed on the bed Ok... Trinity, may we also sleep on the bed tonight? All in under 6 months. Her master plan has been executed perfectly. -J
@@OpenRoading Trinity (Talking to another homeless dog at a park): Humans are saps. So easy. You get this good, clean water, bathing, butt cleaning, poop scooping, clothing, petting, treats, medical care, tooth care, barking and growling privileges, free travel, sex without puppies, you are loving large. It's dog heaven before we even get to dog heaven. Park Doggo: I don't believe that. There's got to be a catch.
@@OpenRoadingI love the honesty and how fast all those house rules became less important. Valiant effort though! Happens to almost everyone, if not everyone. lol
Thanks for the heads up. We've followed several other RVers who have been able to boondock a decent bit up there so we're hoping to do the same - but we've got some wiggle room for campgrounds when we need them. 🙂 -J
Poor Trinity. That undiagnosed uterine infection was probably the reason she was dumped because it would have made her an unsuccessful breeder. Pyometra in dogs can be a death sentence. My cat had pyometra. Even if they appear healthy it can long term affect the kidneys. My sweetheart lived to eighteen, however. Anyway, be sure to keep an eye on her kidney function. You maybe should ask a vet about putting her on a special kidney diet food rather than regular, or how to adjust her diet to help maintain her kidneys. You are all so lucky to have each other.
We spent 10 days over Christmas in Moab. We stayed in a campground in town and were lucky enough to have propane there. And they didn’t overcharge. Diesel, however, was SUPER expensive in town. And our dog was barking at your dog barking at the sticker, making him a huge dork.
HAHAHA! Kalyn and I laughed out loud at this. Dogs are awesome. I didn't think I'd ever be a dog person but Trinity's master plan to bring me around keeps working. -J
Goblin Valley is a must do. I'm glad Trinity is doing well. I think it's really great how you guys just really love Trinity and she's now officially firmly your family.
Dogs are amazing thieves,no matter how hard you try they will steal your heart and then train you to go to amazing lengths for them.I love dogs especially mine who just kicked me out of MY chair
Glad Trin is doing well. Since she had an ovary infection she likely couldn't breed and was left, so sadly she was likely tossed out, so glad she met you guys. I grew up with dogs, had a dog my entire life until recently, I always think it is so cute to see people with their first dog it is like the first child and you guys are adorable with her. Our 16 year old passed in November and 19 year old passed in January. But our neighbors dog is always over here and is so sweet, it has been OK. Glad you are checking what you can take to Alaska with you, I would have tossed a couple bags of dog food in and not even thought about it, they never worried about that before. On a side question no one could ever tell me why we always fixed our horses before we broke them, seems like it would go the other way, lol. Stay safe and healthy.
I'm so sorry for your recent loss. 😭 We lost our other rabbit this past summer and it's so hard to have a pet that's been a staple of the family suddenly be gone. I'm glad you have a neighbor dog to come over and give you a bit of a "fur fix." Such a funny turn of phrase with the horses. I'm glad I never had to learn English as a non-english speaker. I would have been confused.... a lot. -J
@@OpenRoading I am glad Trin was able to fill a hole from your other bunny. She sure seems like a blast. I would volunteer to ride with you guys up north and babysit yours and your friends dogs, but not able to travel anyways right now. Stay safe and healthy.
It's not unusual for a dog to be in a little bit of shock after surgery and an overnight at the vet! We know she was absolutely thrilled to be back with you guys! 😀 🐕
The first video of yours that I watched was the day you met Trinity and ended up keeping her, for that reason I subscribed to your channel I'm so glad you got her taken care of and she's doing very well.
Joseph Sweet Joseph! You are not old. You make noises because you are carrying a heavy backpack. I am old. In twenty years, I'll be 85 years old. A very inspirational thought. I'll be cruising Alaska in July. Gosh I hope we can meet up. All the best.
If we don't meet up in Alaska we will meet up in Florida next winter! That's a promise. Be sure to let Kalyn know what dates you'll be on land, she's the one who knows where we'll be when (although it's still in development) I just drive us. 🙂 -J
The love you have for Trinity and Cody is so heartwarming ❤. Our pets are truly family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hike ! I really enjoy watching your adventures each week. Can't wait till next week!
How wonderful that Trinity is now okay and all things have been done. She will recover quickly. I was a cat lady for 40 years. Married my husband ten years ago and I had three cats. He’s allergic. So he put up with them until they all cross the rainbow bridge. Then we decided to get a dog for him. I never was a dog lover and my husband was concerned. Well I’m an animal lover and Smokey has made me a dog lady! She adores me so much. You guys are the same way I was. Love it so much.
It's so good to hear that story. I kinda thought I was on an island of "not being a dog person until...." Trinity has turned that around, although I'm still not 100% convinced that I'm a dog person as opposed to a "trinity person." 🤔 -J
@@OpenRoading well we have had Smokey for almost three years and yes, I have become a dog person. Still love cats but dogs are just so loving. Loved bunnies as a child, we raised rabbits and it was so much fun playing with them. Suffice it to say I love animals. If only I could have a farm and turn it into a sanctuary for animals with no home. There are so many. Shelters are full everywhere.
Vet care on the road is always concerning. Glad you got Trinity back safe and sound. Camper looks great and ready for your Alaska adventure. Safe travels.
It really is. We have a lot of concerns with Cody's health for this trip so that will always be on our mind as we travel because it's so much harder to find vets that work with exotic animals. -J
Trinity will need a few days to recover. Make sure she has a cone of shame on usually sutures come out in 7-10 days reduce activity 2-3 days after surgery and no bathes until sutures come out. Hope all goes well
Trinity and Cody are your babies! So sweet! I’m happy Trinity is doing well post spay. I can’t imagine our life without our furbabies (2 kitties and 2 Frenchies). They make life complete! 😊🐾❤️
I have often said that sometimes, propane is a PAIN to get filled, especially in some states. I’ve often had to drive over 90 minutes just to find a fill station. This is why I didn’t get a propane generator in my most recent RV. Good episode! Thanks for taking us along!
There's part of me that wishes instead of 2 larger containers that I had 3 of the smaller ones so I could use the exchanges....BUT.... I'm not sure how I feel about having different tanks that I'm not used to hooked up each week. I might be concerned about safety issues. -J
Glad Trinity's spay day went well! Our Rusty goes for grooming every 6 weeks. I drop him off early in the morning then go home to clean, I'm usually done in 3 hours and then I'm ready for him to come home. My husband has retired so the cleaning now takes less time, so we're both ready to get him home in two hours now! It's crazy just how quiet it is without them! These pups work their way into our hearts and become such comfort to us. Also, had not heard about the pet food limit.
Great job editing this one. I laughed out loud when I saw the quick transition between Joe dumping tanks (no gloves/your recent survey) and eating his sandwich in the truck 😂 Well done.
@@Retired5oh Now I'm trying to come up with other creative things....maybe a transition from the clear elbow mid dump to me casually eating a chocolate frosty?? 😁 -J
one nice thing about the Catahoula Leopard bread is they are very protective of the owners. my sister had a Catahoula Leopard for most of the life of the dog and the bread is very smart and very affection to the owners.
She does seem to have a very strong protective streak. We're still trying to figure out how to work with her outside because once she's out there she is sooooooo easily distracted. Walking with her in new areas is still quite difficult. Once she's familiar with it she is much calmer. -J
You are the best pup parents! My heart skipped a beat when I heard pyrometria. The infection of the uterus can happen at any time and is life threatening. I lost my precious Sky to it because I was hospitalized and those taking care of her thought her sad behavior was just missing me.
I used to cry when I had to leave my cat for dental, cuz they have to give them anesthesia and I'm a worry wart. One of the first videos we watched of y'all was when you found Trinity. Best find ever. She's a lucky pup. ❤
You can tell how much you love Trinity! ❤ I’m also surprised they needed to keep her overnight for just a routine spay. I’m guessing it varies per clinic, but I’ve never heard of anyone having to do that before.
"I don't like talking on the phone." That's so like me and my husband. I make him do all the calling. LOL Congrats on getting Trinity ready for Alaska. Can't wait to see your videos!
😂😂😂😂 Trinity barking at the sticker dog! I was laughing so hard! My dog (rip) lost her mind, when I left a gardening trowel outside! I was so happy to know how safe I was 😂😂😂
Need to visit Idaho... I just started watching your channel this last month and went back on some of your older videos. You guys do a awesome job. One of my favorites... be safe.
Awe so glad Trinity is feeling ok after her spay.. 🐾🤗 great idea Joseph to put the coating on the trailer so the new decals won’t fade. It looks awesome!❤
That was a sweet video! There is a completeness a dog gives a home and when they’re not there is when it’s definitely felt. I feel like I always say this but I just want to thank you again for giving Trinity such a great home with two actively involved special humans who take such sweet care of her. My little Maltese was bit by a dog who jumped the fence and he became reactive to other dogs. With work, it has greatly improved. I don’t condone using shock collars ever. But there is a little handheld unit I got off Amazon that emits either a beep or a sound wave only dogs hear that made a huge difference for us. I actually ordered it to use if the attack dog ever did that again but started using the beep sound to train with and I can’t give any greater praise. I’ve actually never used the high pitch sound wave option. If he’s starting to bark at other dogs thru the front door all it takes is showing him or saying we’re getting what we call “the beeper.” Cost around $35. I take it on every walk and everywhere we go. Just a thought. Good luck on your journey to Alaska. If it’s anything like Hawaii , it’s a little complicated but once you’ve done it, you’ll be pros. Safe travels!
Most dog foods available in the US are available in Canada. Don't forget Canadian prices are in Canadian dollars and the the exchange rate is about $1.35.
The vet's office in my area no longer keeps pup overnight after spays or neuters. Because most can't get staffing overnight. Plus, like you mentioned, they are more comfortable at home. But it makes for a sleepless night, at least for me. I'm so glad she is doing well. I also love watching how you have all bonded!
Yeah - if she had been home I would have been up watching. My concern with this vet clinic is I literally didn't know if anyone was there watching overnight. I kid you not....we never spoke to the vet...at all...the entire time. If this wasn't a routine procedure I never would take an animal there again simply because the communication was so bad. They could be the best vet in the world but I have no way to judge that before or after because we never got to speak to them. 👀 We toned down our comments for the video because we like to keep things pretty positive but I had to hold back a bit. -J
That trail looked fun with the ladders and chains, different than usual hiking trails. Every dog I have ever had has always acted like they were a little perturbed with me after any vet procedure or grooming appointment... LOL. They come around in a few hours. So glad you were able to get your paperwork needed for the border crossing. I am assuming you need one for Cody too?
You are the best fur baby parents. I always say we don't pick them but they pick us. Like my hubby liked this little Chihuahua at the humane society. He was holding her and then I took her, but she wanted nothing to do with me and jumped back into my hubby's arms! At first I felt so bad but we ended up adopting her and it's now 13 months later and she fits in so well. She is the smartest little dog and she came already potty trained to use a doggie pee pad by our back door if were not up early. Which I found amazing since our last 3 boys (Bichon Frise's) trashed our last house and we had to completely put in new flooring. As much as I loved my 3 Bichon's I will never have another male dog ever. Hannah also recalls instantly as I trained her to come lickity split when I blow this particular whistle (It sounds like a British police whistle).
Awww, I know exactly how y’all feel. And likely she was still groggy from the anesthesia, not that she wasn’t excited to see you. We had one that had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and had to go back for observation. So glad Trin was doing so good and the infection was caught early! ❤️
We had no idea she had an infection when we took her in! So glad they got it taken care of. I think we both were expecting the reaction of those dogs who have been reunited with their owners after being separated for years.... 😂 I think we were overly optimistic. LOL -J
Happy to hear everything went well with Trinity. It's amazing how animals especially dogs can just wiggle their way into your heart . Also just so you know my husband ate peanut butter and jelly all through school and work everyday and he still does. He's retired now but still loves pbj sandwhiches.
I just found your channel today and have been bing watching. Trinity is such a sweetheart and I love the story of how you found each other. So glad she had a successful surgery and is back home. 🥰
"Sometimes the dream is a nightmare" I can't tell you how much I appreciated you putting that in there. Living the dream sometimes oversimplifies things and makes you think people don't think you have hard days/weeks/months. Thankfully though, we haven't had a true nightmare in a while so yes...I would say at the moment we are living the dream. 🙂 -J
You are definitely my kind of people. Anyone that feels like you did dropping Trinity off shows how wonderfully awesome you both are. And you put out good videos too 😁👍... ❤ for Trinity and ❤ Cody
Glad you stayed a safe distance from the arch! 😆 You are great at nonchalantly dropping a "hidden" joke or reference in many vids. Not sure if it's still a thing, when I went to Canada several years ago, pet food had to be in its original packaging (i.e. DON'T dump it into a bulk airtight container and throw away the bag). I quickly found out the price of Canadian dog food!!! Thanks guys for bringing us on your journey. Hugs and kisses to Trin for a speedy recovery
We RV traveled into Canada last summer with our cats. We crossed back and forth a couple of times. Just letting y'all know. Pet food was never brought up at the border crossing. Maybe because we have cats. Not sure, but it was very chill.
@@OpenRoadingwe’re in BC. Going into Washington we are frequently asked about food for our dog. It has to be in the original unopened bag. We have been allowed to take 1 meal in in a ziploc, but reluctantly. And you are required to have proof of rabies and health certificate, though we’ve never been asked for it. But never been asked coming back to Canada.
The microchip was a must for us! To us the most basic way to show love to an animal is making sure people can help return them home should the ever get lost. -J
I appreciate your hard work! Nice paint job in the desert lol. You might have found your next side hustle...mobile RV painting. You guys do a great job sharing your adventures and makes us viewers want to be on the road with you.
Moab UT is now on our bucket list! What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing your hike with us. So glad Trinity is back at home with you guys. She’s a lucky pooch! ❤
Moab is BEAUTIFUL! If you are OK with cooler weather I recommend it during the shoulder season. I imagine during the summer it's gotta be a mad house! -J
haha! Yes, we are aware. 😁 There are two reasons we are stocking up: 1 - Specific brands. There are certain things we don't want to switch brands for. Unfortunately pet food is one of them so we'll just have to hope that what's up there is the same. Something we are aware of is in different countries sometimes teriffs and laws mean a brand product that looks the same isn't actually the same (chocolate for instance - A reese in Canada isn't the same as a reese's in the states because Canada has specific chocolate import laws that the US does not.) 2 - Cost. I understand we have to calculate for the exchange rate - but as we travel we will be spending most of our time in rural areas...rural almost always means more expensive. We run a pretty tight budget so we try to save where we can. 🙂 -J
Our pup chewed the stiches out the night we brought her home from being spayed. We did not use a 'collar' and had to do an emergency visit to the vet to get her stitched back up. So, overnight stay... for the win!
@@OpenRoading probably not, but our guess is they would have put a cone on her...which we didn't do, initially. It was a bit unnerving to see the sutures out, the incision gaping open! Our vet, who was actually retired and helping out his son's practice, met us at the office at 1am and said he'd never seen such a clean removal of sutures! So, I guess that was a positive. LOL
@@OpenRoading ...that, and she was being true to herself, she was a terrier. Aka "Terror". Not a bad dog, just, uhm, strong willed and strongly convinced of what she needed for any situation. If she wanted to be compliant, no problem. Otherwise, a true strong-willed pup! Really miss her.
Another great video. I like watching these videos while I am doing my medical charting. I would be interested if food prices are really that big of a difference in Alaska as least in the major cites (Anchorage, Fairbanks). I guess we have been here so long that it at doesn't appear to be expensive. Another indication that I have been here too long it that the my wife and I don't even use window shades when we sleep. So using eye shades to sleep is very tourist
We'll be sure to let you know! 😁 I was talking to a friend and they said at the big stores in Anchorage the prices are similar to the lower 48. We just did a "stock up" run and we're making a spreadsheet so we can truly compare apples to apples. Thanks again for your awesome support of the channel. It's incredible to me that you put that value on our content every week. 🤗 -J
I worked in a veterinary clinic and I had trouble filling out the health certificates for Canada, especially for people who were going to be camping, some campgrounds don’t have an address. The other problem was they’re only good for 30 days.
We've been informed by some people from alaska that the 30 days is more of a guideline and they have never seen an issue with CVIs being as old as 90 days. We'll find out I'm sure. -J
I can't believe they didnt give you a cone. I felt bad bc my dog hated it and I took it off. I guess the third day after it was so itchy my dog pulled out her stitches and her gutts started popping out - emergency trip to the Vet.
She did realllly good with her stitches thankfully. She licked at them a couple of times but that was it. I was shocked. I would have lost it if she had opened herself up! 😬😬😬😬😬 -J
Some CVI are only good for 2 weeks prior to entering that state. I used to work at a vet clinic and some owners wanted to be proactive and do it months ahead of travel time but the certificate would expire and they would have to do another one closer to travel day. The longest paperwork is to Hawaii, definitely start months in advance for that one.
So I'm curious - Since we are in state for more than 30 days how would that work? We've spoken with someone else up there who said while technically they are only good for 30 days it's treated as more of a guideline and they've never seen someone have a problem with it being up to 90 days old. -J
The main reason for the certificate is to certify that your pet is free of any diseases or parasites. So that is why a certificate that is older than 2 weeks prior to entering the state is not accepted. Once in the state you should be fine to stay as long as you want but when coming back to the lower 48 you will most likely need a new certificate. Check the state's USDA guidelines some are easy and explain everything others you need to call them to get the information.
Make sure you properly register on the microchip site. I'm not sure how traveling will affect that but y'all know that issue already. Lots of people get their pets microchipped but never go the next step to register. Then, if the pet is found, the agency/vet can see the microchip but then there is no data or updated data on the site so no way to contact the owner.
I'd love to send you a referral link........buuuuuut.....we made them. 😬😬😬 And by we I mean Kalyn's mom, My mom, and her aunt. We did some cutting. 😁 -J
Thanks for the journey! I look forward to y'alls vids every Friday. Oh, I hate when my pets have to stay over night. I'm always a nervous wreck! Lol...
@@OpenRoading Ah! Did not know that she was in heat. I am so glad you adopted her. She is a gorgeous dog. I have bred and shown dogs for over 35 years. Trinity is just gorgeous. She has beautiful neck into shoulder, good strong rear and she is so totally well balanced. What does all that mean. That means that she is build correctly so you will not get hip and joint issues and early onset of arthritis. Bottom line, you hit the jackpot when she decided she belonged to you. Also, having a big dog on the road is a huge safety factor. As a senior woman who is a Roadtripper no one messes with an older woman with a big dog! CONGRATULATIONS! To you and Trinity, she is one lucky girl.😎
We are heading through Canada to Alaska in June! I called the state vet office in Alaska and as I understand it the health certificate must be no more than 30 days old.
That is indeed the letter of the law. We've spoken with some people up there who have told us they haven't ever seen an issue with one up to 90 days old. I'm not recommending you get it early. 🙂 -J
It's one of those things where you COULD get away without stuff as long as no one asks - we just decided to go the better safe than sorry route! If you search facebook there is a group called "RVing to Alaska The Original" and it's been super helpful. -J
I live in Alberta and travel to Idaho. I don’t find groceries more expensive in Alberta, especially when you factor in the exchange rate on the dollar. Currently a Canadian dollar is worth 73 cents US.
Make sure you send in the microchip info. Another channel I watch involves a shelter and it's crazy how often lost dogs are chipped but there is no info so the owner cannot be contacted. My own dog ran off and I got him back because he was chipped. A friend didn't get her dog chipped and someone stole the dog out of her fenced yard.
Another great video! Now that I’m caught up I’m contemplating going back to earlier seasons. So happy that you all are finding success with your journey ,especially after Trinity became the “star”! Be safe and we’ll see you next week! - Livin’ in RVA
@@OpenRoading Did that hike on my birthday, last year. Was probably our first true "off the beaten path Adventure" although it isn't all that off the beaten path. I love how you said you expected to be able to see the arch as you crested that rise in the rock, but didn't. I think you were actually looking right at it, but you can't see the 'arch' because you're looking at it from the side. It's because of that hike that we want to return to hike Canyonlands and Capital Reef.

How wonderful that Trinity is now okay and all things have been done. She will recover quickly.
I was a cat lady for 40 years. Married my husband ten years ago and I had three cats. He’s allergic. So he put up with them until they all cross the rainbow bridge. Then we decided to get a dog for him. I never was a dog lover and my husband was concerned. Well I’m an animal lover and Smokey has made me a dog lady! She adores me so much. You guys are the same way I was. Love it so much.
It's so good to hear that story. I kinda thought I was on an island of "not being a dog person until...." Trinity has turned that around, although I'm still not 100% convinced that I'm a dog person as opposed to a "trinity person." 🤔 -J
@@OpenRoading well we have had Smokey for almost three years and yes, I have become a dog person. Still love cats but dogs are just so loving. Loved bunnies as a child, we raised rabbits and it was so much fun playing with them. Suffice it to say I love animals. If only I could have a farm and turn it into a sanctuary for animals with no home. There are so many. Shelters are full everywhere.
I just love your videos. I always have a grin from ear to ear as I watch them. Thank you for giving such a loving home to Trinity and the bunny.
So glad we can bring a smile as the weekend starts! -J
Me, too. Huge new fan of this channel. 🥰😘😍
@@aslobos So kind and encouraging! Thank you! 😊 -J
You guys do a great job editing. Trinity has come so far from when you found her, shes a great addition to the team.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Trinity is the companion neither of us knew we needed. She's brought us so much joy every single day. -J
I had no idea it would be such a pain to take your dog to Alaska. So glad everything turned out for Trinity.
A lot of hoops! We were surprised at the regs for the rabbit! Been into Canada and back with Rabbits before - had no clue Alaska had special rules. -J
Vet care on the road is always concerning. Glad you got Trinity back safe and sound. Camper looks great and ready for your Alaska adventure. Safe travels.
It really is. We have a lot of concerns with Cody's health for this trip so that will always be on our mind as we travel because it's so much harder to find vets that work with exotic animals. -J
Trinity will need a few days to recover. Make sure she has a cone of shame on usually sutures come out in 7-10 days reduce activity 2-3 days after surgery and no bathes until sutures come out. Hope all goes well
@@HYHfarm She never needed the cone. We went 2 weeks without running. 🙂 -J
Trinity has wormed herself into your life and heart.
From the first time you met her I thought she was a special dog.
Indeed she has!! And she is! -J
Trinity and Cody are your babies! So sweet! I’m happy Trinity is doing well post spay. I can’t imagine our life without our furbabies (2 kitties and 2 Frenchies). They make life complete! 😊🐾❤️
Animals have simple ways to bring every day smiles. -J
lol trinity is to funny barking at the sticker of the dog !! Just to funny
She was protecting us from that nefarious sticker. Good thing we won't see a lot of cruise america RVs in our travels.....wait.....oh boy. -J
New subscriber.....mainly from the video where you found trinity. So glad you kept her. She obviously chose you.
I like to say that she stole our chair....then our hearts. 🙂 -J
You guys are such good pet parents!!! The decals look fantastic and I'm so excited for your trip to Alaska! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. So kind. 🤗 -J
You guys are such good dog parents. 😊 🐶 Love listening while cooking for the week. Only RV channel I watch!!
Thanks! We try to keep things moving and interesting! Appreciate the positive feedback. -J
I have often said that sometimes, propane is a PAIN to get filled, especially in some states. I’ve often had to drive over 90 minutes just to find a fill station. This is why I didn’t get a propane generator in my most recent RV.
Good episode! Thanks for taking us along!
There's part of me that wishes instead of 2 larger containers that I had 3 of the smaller ones so I could use the exchanges....BUT.... I'm not sure how I feel about having different tanks that I'm not used to hooked up each week. I might be concerned about safety issues. -J
I absolutely love how Trinity has wrapped her paw around your guys heart! Your channel is fantastic ❤
Somehow we went from
"No we can't keep her"
to
"Trinity, may we sleep on the bed too?"
in less than 6 months. 😂 -J
Thanks for regular videos. They must take a number of hours to edit each week. Love seeing what you’ve been up to!
They do! Thank you.
So appreciate you taking the time to watch and enjoy! -J
Glad Trinity's spay day went well! Our Rusty goes for grooming every 6 weeks. I drop him off early in the morning then go home to clean, I'm usually done in 3 hours and then I'm ready for him to come home. My husband has retired so the cleaning now takes less time, so we're both ready to get him home in two hours now! It's crazy just how quiet it is without them! These pups work their way into our hearts and become such comfort to us. Also, had not heard about the pet food limit.
It's amazing how fast they steal your heart! -J
I'm glad they caught that. I had a dog with that, and she had to have an emergency surgery because if she didn't have it, she would have died.
Yeah! I read that those infections can be pretty serious! -J
I'm so happy for Trinity (and the rest of the family) that she came into your lives!
We are so grateful every single day that the shelter made us uncomfortable. -J
Great job editing this one. I laughed out loud when I saw the quick transition between Joe dumping tanks (no gloves/your recent survey) and eating his sandwich in the truck 😂 Well done.
Haha! I promise it wasn't intentional!! I swear! -J
Caught that too from a fellow no glover!😂
@@Retired5oh Now I'm trying to come up with other creative things....maybe a transition from the clear elbow mid dump to me casually eating a chocolate frosty?? 😁 -J
😂 or enjoying a refreshing chocolate ice cream cone 🍦
@@Retired5oh WHILE WEARING GLOVES! 😂
one nice thing about the Catahoula Leopard bread is they are very protective of the owners. my sister had a Catahoula Leopard for most of the life of the dog and the bread is very smart and very affection to the owners.
I can vouch for that. I had 3 and felt very safe and loved by them. Very loyal, and good cattle dogs.
She does seem to have a very strong protective streak. We're still trying to figure out how to work with her outside because once she's out there she is sooooooo easily distracted. Walking with her in new areas is still quite difficult. Once she's familiar with it she is much calmer. -J
You are the best pup parents! My heart skipped a beat when I heard pyrometria. The infection of the uterus can happen at any time and is life threatening. I lost my precious Sky to it because I was hospitalized and those taking care of her thought her sad behavior was just missing me.
I'm so sorry for your loss. That had to be devastating especially surrounding a time when you were going through your own troubles. 😢 -J
I used to cry when I had to leave my cat for dental, cuz they have to give them anesthesia and I'm a worry wart.
One of the first videos we watched of y'all was when you found Trinity. Best find ever. She's a lucky pup. ❤
Leaving your pet overnight somewhere, especially when you don't know the people they are being left with, is so tough. -J
You can tell how much you love Trinity! ❤ I’m also surprised they needed to keep her overnight for just a routine spay. I’m guessing it varies per clinic, but I’ve never heard of anyone having to do that before.
Yeah. I'm sure it's for observation but we really would have been more comfortable having her home. -J
"I don't like talking on the phone." That's so like me and my husband. I make him do all the calling. LOL Congrats on getting Trinity ready for Alaska. Can't wait to see your videos!
That's what makes the best marriages! 😁 Teamwork! -J
You two are so sweet about Trin!💖💖💖🐶
She's got us wrapped around her paw. -J
😂😂😂😂 Trinity barking at the sticker dog! I was laughing so hard! My dog (rip) lost her mind, when I left a gardening trowel outside! I was so happy to know how safe I was 😂😂😂
My golden noodle barks at pictures of dogs and dogs on TV…he also barks when he hears Trinity bark!
Trinity...making dogs bark all across the country. 😂 Cruise America dog stickers are having a huge affect that they are completely unaware of. -J
Awww, so sweet! I'm glad everyone is okay.
Trinity thinks we overreacted. 😂 -J
Need to visit Idaho... I just started watching your channel this last month and went back on some of your older videos. You guys do a awesome job. One of my favorites... be safe.
Thanks so much! -J
Awe so glad Trinity is feeling ok after her spay.. 🐾🤗 great idea Joseph to put the coating on the trailer so the new decals won’t fade. It looks awesome!❤
Can't take credit for that one! Kalyn did all the research. I just did the grunt work. 😁 -J
That was a sweet video! There is a completeness a dog gives a home and when they’re not there is when it’s definitely felt. I feel like I always say this but I just want to thank you again for giving Trinity such a great home with two actively involved special humans who take such sweet care of her.
My little Maltese was bit by a dog who jumped the fence and he became reactive to other dogs. With work, it has greatly improved. I don’t condone using shock collars ever. But there is a little handheld unit I got off Amazon that emits either a beep or a sound wave only dogs hear that made a huge difference for us. I actually ordered it to use if the attack dog ever did that again but started using the beep sound to train with and I can’t give any greater praise. I’ve actually never used the high pitch sound wave option. If he’s starting to bark at other dogs thru the front door all it takes is showing him or saying we’re getting what we call “the beeper.” Cost around $35. I take it on every walk and everywhere we go. Just a thought.
Good luck on your journey to Alaska. If it’s anything like Hawaii , it’s a little complicated but once you’ve done it, you’ll be pros. Safe travels!
Thanks for the tip! -J
Most dog foods available in the US are available in Canada. Don't forget Canadian prices are in Canadian dollars and the the exchange rate is about $1.35.
Yep! Got our currency conversions at the ready! -J
The vet's office in my area no longer keeps pup overnight after spays or neuters. Because most can't get staffing overnight. Plus, like you mentioned, they are more comfortable at home. But it makes for a sleepless night, at least for me. I'm so glad she is doing well. I also love watching how you have all bonded!
Yeah - if she had been home I would have been up watching. My concern with this vet clinic is I literally didn't know if anyone was there watching overnight.
I kid you not....we never spoke to the vet...at all...the entire time. If this wasn't a routine procedure I never would take an animal there again simply because the communication was so bad. They could be the best vet in the world but I have no way to judge that before or after because we never got to speak to them. 👀 We toned down our comments for the video because we like to keep things pretty positive but I had to hold back a bit. -J
That trail looked fun with the ladders and chains, different than usual hiking trails. Every dog I have ever had has always acted like they were a little perturbed with me after any vet procedure or grooming appointment... LOL. They come around in a few hours. So glad you were able to get your paperwork needed for the border crossing. I am assuming you need one for Cody too?
She was very annoyed 😂.
Yeah, we needed to get a CVI for Cody too - but for Alaska. Canada doesn't care interestingly enough. -J
You are the best fur baby parents. I always say we don't pick them but
they pick us. Like my hubby liked this little Chihuahua at the humane society.
He was holding her and then I took her, but she wanted nothing to do with me
and jumped back into my hubby's arms! At first I felt so bad but we ended up
adopting her and it's now 13 months later and she fits in so well. She is the
smartest little dog and she came already potty trained to use a doggie
pee pad by our back door if were not up early. Which I found amazing since
our last 3 boys (Bichon Frise's) trashed our last house and we had to
completely put in new flooring. As much as I loved my 3 Bichon's I will never
have another male dog ever. Hannah also recalls instantly as I trained her to
come lickity split when I blow this particular whistle (It sounds like a British
police whistle).
The older I get the more I believe that sometimes the best pairings are when the animal chooses you. 🤗 -J
Trinity was so lucky to find and adopt the two of you. Seems to have added quite a bit to your channel also. Good luck with your Alaska trip.
Everyone is here for Trinity. 😁 -J
Awww, I know exactly how y’all feel. And likely she was still groggy from the anesthesia, not that she wasn’t excited to see you. We had one that had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and had to go back for observation. So glad Trin was doing so good and the infection was caught early! ❤️
We had no idea she had an infection when we took her in! So glad they got it taken care of.
I think we both were expecting the reaction of those dogs who have been reunited with their owners after being separated for years.... 😂 I think we were overly optimistic. LOL -J
Happy to hear everything went well with Trinity. It's amazing how animals especially dogs can just wiggle their way into your heart . Also just so you know my husband ate peanut butter and jelly all through school and work everyday and he still does. He's retired now but still loves pbj sandwhiches.
PB&J!!
Trinity has full on wrapped us around her paw. It's quite evident. lol -J
That 303 is good stuff. Just remember it is a sacrificial protectant, so you need to re-apply once a year or so.
OK! It says on the can once a MONTH! So you're telling me......I can stretch that out a bit? -J
I just found your channel today and have been bing watching. Trinity is such a sweetheart and I love the story of how you found each other. So glad she had a successful surgery and is back home. 🥰
I love your channel. You're sweet people with animals living the dream. Sometimes the dream is a nightmare, but that's life. Don't ever change.
"Sometimes the dream is a nightmare" I can't tell you how much I appreciated you putting that in there. Living the dream sometimes oversimplifies things and makes you think people don't think you have hard days/weeks/months.
Thankfully though, we haven't had a true nightmare in a while so yes...I would say at the moment we are living the dream. 🙂 -J
You are definitely my kind of people. Anyone that feels like you did dropping Trinity off shows how wonderfully awesome you both are. And you put out good videos too 😁👍... ❤ for Trinity and ❤ Cody
Thanks so much and ❤️❤️ given to both! -J
It is a great hike. Did that one 3 years ago.
So awesome, especially for such a short one! -J
Glad you stayed a safe distance from the arch! 😆 You are great at nonchalantly dropping a "hidden" joke or reference in many vids.
Not sure if it's still a thing, when I went to Canada several years ago, pet food had to be in its original packaging (i.e. DON'T dump it into a bulk airtight container and throw away the bag). I quickly found out the price of Canadian dog food!!! Thanks guys for bringing us on your journey. Hugs and kisses to Trin for a speedy recovery
Thanks for the heads up! We had seen something about that whole packaging thing! Here's hoping we only have to buy 1 bag in Canada. -J
You guys are real dog parents now. Congrats. It is not the same without them.
They steal your heart pretty quickly! -J
You are great parents to your little ones.
We believe a commitment to a pet is a lifetime one. -J
I was brought to your channel via the episode where you found Trinity, I’m staying for the content. I’m loving your videos!
So kind! Thanks so much for giving us a chance! -J
We RV traveled into Canada last summer with our cats. We crossed back and forth a couple of times. Just letting y'all know. Pet food was never brought up at the border crossing. Maybe because we have cats. Not sure, but it was very chill.
Yeah - It's one of those things that will only be a problem if you catch the wrong guard on the wrong day I'm sure. -J
@@OpenRoadingwe’re in BC. Going into Washington we are frequently asked about food for our dog. It has to be in the original unopened bag. We have been allowed to take 1 meal in in a ziploc, but reluctantly. And you are required to have proof of rabies and health certificate, though we’ve never been asked for it. But never been asked coming back to Canada.
@@lesliebush3064 Unopened....ruh roh.... LOL! Here's hoping they don't look or we may be losing a couple weeks of dog food.... -J
Pets are a gift to us!
They really are. -J
Great video. It's so good that Trinity got spayed and microchipped and is all ready for the big trip up north. I loved the hike too. Blessings!
The microchip was a must for us! To us the most basic way to show love to an animal is making sure people can help return them home should the ever get lost. -J
Now u know the beauty of owning a dog !❤️❤️❤️❤️
We've become full on Trinity people. -J
We are in Moab now. But not heading to AK. LOL. Glad Trinity is good now.
Such a beautiful place! Just don't get run down by a side by side or dirt bike. 😁 -J
I appreciate your hard work! Nice paint job in the desert lol. You might have found your next side hustle...mobile RV painting.
You guys do a great job sharing your adventures and makes us viewers want to be on the road with you.
Thanks Tom! I will be satisfied if I never have to paint another stripe ever again. 😂 -J
We bought an extra “3rd“ bottle for the propane. That works great when we get stuck.
I've considered it. Just don't have a good spot to put it. -J
Moab UT is now on our bucket list! What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing your hike with us. So glad Trinity is back at home with you guys. She’s a lucky pooch! ❤
Moab is BEAUTIFUL! If you are OK with cooler weather I recommend it during the shoulder season. I imagine during the summer it's gotta be a mad house! -J
We have grocery stores and pet stores up here in Canada.
haha! Yes, we are aware. 😁 There are two reasons we are stocking up:
1 - Specific brands. There are certain things we don't want to switch brands for. Unfortunately pet food is one of them so we'll just have to hope that what's up there is the same. Something we are aware of is in different countries sometimes teriffs and laws mean a brand product that looks the same isn't actually the same (chocolate for instance - A reese in Canada isn't the same as a reese's in the states because Canada has specific chocolate import laws that the US does not.)
2 - Cost. I understand we have to calculate for the exchange rate - but as we travel we will be spending most of our time in rural areas...rural almost always means more expensive. We run a pretty tight budget so we try to save where we can. 🙂 -J
So glad Trinity is doing good! ❤❤❤
She's almost all healed up now! -J
Our pup chewed the stiches out the night we brought her home from being spayed. We did not use a 'collar' and had to do an emergency visit to the vet to get her stitched back up. So, overnight stay... for the win!
ooooooo That's no good! That makes a lot of sense actually! But my question is, is there someone AT the vet office all night to observe? -J
@@OpenRoading probably not, but our guess is they would have put a cone on her...which we didn't do, initially. It was a bit unnerving to see the sutures out, the incision gaping open! Our vet, who was actually retired and helping out his son's practice, met us at the office at 1am and said he'd never seen such a clean removal of sutures! So, I guess that was a positive. LOL
@@AdventureRVLife Your dog was just curious as to what was under the new threads! 🙂 -J
@@OpenRoading ...that, and she was being true to herself, she was a terrier. Aka "Terror". Not a bad dog, just, uhm, strong willed and strongly convinced of what she needed for any situation. If she wanted to be compliant, no problem. Otherwise, a true strong-willed pup! Really miss her.
@@AdventureRVLife ❤ Animals certainly steal our hearts.
Great video! Love the Trinity saga!
Thanks so much Cody & Angela! I've got to catch up on your last 4 videos! I honestly don't know how ya'll manage 2 per week! Nice work!! -J
@@OpenRoading That's so nice, thank you! Sometimes we ask ourselves the same thing! ha!
so glad trinity did well.
She did better than us I think. LOL -J
We did Dead Horse Point when we were in Moab last year. It was amazing. I really felt like it was almost equal to the Grand Canyon.
We went there in 2020 and as I was editing this I was like "Ohhhh shoot. Never once did we mention dead horse. 👀 Your description is dead on! -J
I'm so happy for you guys and Trinity, she's lucky to of found you! ❤❤❤
I donno - I think we are the lucky ones. She's brought us so much joy in our every day lives. -J
Another great video. I like watching these videos while I am doing my medical charting. I would be interested if food prices are really that big of a difference in Alaska as least in the major cites (Anchorage, Fairbanks). I guess we have been here so long that it at doesn't appear to be expensive. Another indication that I have been here too long it that the my wife and I don't even use window shades when we sleep. So using eye shades to sleep is very tourist
We'll be sure to let you know! 😁 I was talking to a friend and they said at the big stores in Anchorage the prices are similar to the lower 48. We just did a "stock up" run and we're making a spreadsheet so we can truly compare apples to apples.
Thanks again for your awesome support of the channel. It's incredible to me that you put that value on our content every week. 🤗 -J
Grew up in Utah. Worked at both Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks.
Such beautiful areas. Depending on the day, Zion is usually at the top of our "favorite parks" list. -J
I worked in a veterinary clinic and I had trouble filling out the health certificates for Canada, especially for people who were going to be camping, some campgrounds don’t have an address. The other problem was they’re only good for 30 days.
We've been informed by some people from alaska that the 30 days is more of a guideline and they have never seen an issue with CVIs being as old as 90 days. We'll find out I'm sure. -J
I can't believe they didnt give you a cone. I felt bad bc my dog hated it and I took it off. I guess the third day after it was so itchy my dog pulled out her stitches and her gutts started popping out - emergency trip to the Vet.
She did realllly good with her stitches thankfully. She licked at them a couple of times but that was it. I was shocked.
I would have lost it if she had opened herself up! 😬😬😬😬😬 -J
Beautiful hike!
It was! I honestly think it lives up to "one of the best hikes in the area!" -J
Some CVI are only good for 2 weeks prior to entering that state. I used to work at a vet clinic and some owners wanted to be proactive and do it months ahead of travel time but the certificate would expire and they would have to do another one closer to travel day. The longest paperwork is to Hawaii, definitely start months in advance for that one.
So I'm curious - Since we are in state for more than 30 days how would that work?
We've spoken with someone else up there who said while technically they are only good for 30 days it's treated as more of a guideline and they've never seen someone have a problem with it being up to 90 days old. -J
The main reason for the certificate is to certify that your pet is free of any diseases or parasites. So that is why a certificate that is older than 2 weeks prior to entering the state is not accepted. Once in the state you should be fine to stay as long as you want but when coming back to the lower 48 you will most likely need a new certificate. Check the state's USDA guidelines some are easy and explain everything others you need to call them to get the information.
@@monicacastillo801 we'll be sure to check! -J
Make sure you properly register on the microchip site. I'm not sure how traveling will affect that but y'all know that issue already. Lots of people get their pets microchipped but never go the next step to register. Then, if the pet is found, the agency/vet can see the microchip but then there is no data or updated data on the site so no way to contact the owner.
Already done! 🙂-J
Thank you for taking good care of Trin. ❤. And…do you have the URL for your blinds? My RV neeeeds those! ❤
I'd love to send you a referral link........buuuuuut.....we made them. 😬😬😬
And by we I mean Kalyn's mom, My mom, and her aunt. We did some cutting. 😁 -J
I love keeping up with your family! I can’t wait to see you guys enjoy my home state! (Alaska)
We're looking forward to it! I know we're only going to scratch the surface of everything your state has to offer. -J
Good evening Mr. Joe and Mrs. Kalyn.
Happy Friday! -J
Thanks for the journey! I look forward to y'alls vids every Friday. Oh, I hate when my pets have to stay over night. I'm always a nervous wreck! Lol...
Thanks so much for watching on Friday! All the experts say it makes a difference. I’m just happy people get a smile out of our content. 🙂 -J
Your timing was good, had start of pyometra. Especially if it were closed you could have lost her. So really glad you finally got her spayed.
We were just waiting until she was out of heat. 🙂 -J
@@OpenRoading Ah! Did not know that she was in heat. I am so glad you adopted her. She is a gorgeous dog. I have bred and shown dogs for over 35 years. Trinity is just gorgeous. She has beautiful neck into shoulder, good strong rear and she is so totally well balanced. What does all that mean. That means that she is build correctly so you will not get hip and joint issues and early onset of arthritis. Bottom line, you hit the jackpot when she decided she belonged to you. Also, having a big dog on the road is a huge safety factor. As a senior woman who is a Roadtripper no one messes with an older woman with a big dog! CONGRATULATIONS! To you and Trinity, she is one lucky girl.😎
@@deborahreneelewis7280 I can vouch that she is very strong with that build. 😂 -J
We are heading through Canada to Alaska in June! I called the state vet office in Alaska and as I understand it the health certificate must be no more than 30 days old.
That is indeed the letter of the law. We've spoken with some people up there who have told us they haven't ever seen an issue with one up to 90 days old.
I'm not recommending you get it early. 🙂 -J
@@OpenRoading haha! Enjoying your videos so much.
Always enjoy the videos. Safe travels to you and your furry family.
Thanks so much! -J
Thanks again for all of the great info. We are headed for Alaska and had no idea we needed anything more than her Rabies certificate.
It's one of those things where you COULD get away without stuff as long as no one asks - we just decided to go the better safe than sorry route!
If you search facebook there is a group called "RVing to Alaska The Original" and it's been super helpful. -J
Congratulations Trinity
🐾
I live in Alberta and travel to Idaho. I don’t find groceries more expensive in Alberta, especially when you factor in the exchange rate on the dollar. Currently a Canadian dollar is worth 73 cents US.
Good news! -J
Make sure you send in the microchip info. Another channel I watch involves a shelter and it's crazy how often lost dogs are chipped but there is no info so the owner cannot be contacted. My own dog ran off and I got him back because he was chipped. A friend didn't get her dog chipped and someone stole the dog out of her fenced yard.
All info is all sent! Paid and registered. At some point I want to test it but I'm quite sure our info pops up if you scan her neck. -J
Another great video! Now that I’m caught up I’m contemplating going back to earlier seasons. So happy that you all are finding success with your journey ,especially after Trinity became the “star”! Be safe and we’ll see you next week! - Livin’ in RVA
Go back to earlier seasons at your own peril.... I promise you the video editing quality is not nearly as fun as it is today. 😁 -J
Speedy recovery Trinity ❤
She's doing great! -J
Great episode! 👍🏼😎
Thanks so much! -J
Corona Arch, yay! Love that hike!
It's a really good one! Not too hard, but quite fun! -J
@@OpenRoading Did that hike on my birthday, last year. Was probably our first true "off the beaten path Adventure" although it isn't all that off the beaten path. I love how you said you expected to be able to see the arch as you crested that rise in the rock, but didn't. I think you were actually looking right at it, but you can't see the 'arch' because you're looking at it from the side. It's because of that hike that we want to return to hike Canyonlands and Capital Reef.
@@AdventureRVLife Haha - that spot it was still out of site. We still had another bend to come around before the arch was visible. We do have video of me looking directly at it and missing it though. 😂 -J
