Thanks For All the Comments

In my last post I asked for comments and ideas concerning pets that are left behind while you might have a medical emergency. Here is my post asking the question, followed by a lot of comments and great ideas.

In the meantime, Al over at The Bayfield Bunch talked about my post on Tuesday and had even more readers suggesting ideas. I think between the both blogs a lot of good ideas have been made, can be implemented, and maybe help some others besides just me.

I've spent the past few weeks looking at the low and high temperatures of different areas out west. I have to say the whole USA is pretty cold lately. Unless you head down to Mexico, Baja, Southern California or Southern Arizona ... there are not a lot of daytime high temperatures. So there is a small pocket of warmth down in the SW corner of Arizona.

I track all of those temps on my iPhone, so at a glance I can tell what it's like, and what's it going to be like for the next few days. After having temperatures in the low teens here in the 'tropics' of southern Indiana, it may reach 50° here on Saturday and mid 40's at a minimum ... that will be a nice change of pace but short lived.

I just wanted to post something short today and thank everyone that commented here and on Al & Kelly's Blog giving some great suggestions.

A lot of simple answers that I could not see.

This morning the temperature had increased to 22° at the time I took these photos, the ground was hard as rock but the hounds still knew they could still smell any visitors that may have came into their yard last night. As usual in cold weather, Heidi was indecisive whether to join the other two. She didn't. Right after her photo, she spun and sprinted for the door to go back inside where it's warmer.

I had my 18-55m lens on the camera and by the time I ran inside to get the 70-210mm, the deer had already sprinted away.

The deer fled when they saw their picture was being taken

Nose always goes to the ground

She never likes cold temperatures

There Has Always Been an Elephant Sitting in the Room

I guess I have kind of touched on this in the past when discussing RVing with dogs. I haven't really said the exact question about what lingers in back of my mind ... it's the "big elephant" that sits in the corner of my mind. The elephant sits there observing thoughts, conversations on the blog or with friends by email. Maybe it wears a slight smile as it listens.

Through the few emails I have discussed this quetion, no one really seems to have an answer.

I'd like to get as many comments on this question as possible, good or bad ... maybe I'll see something I haven't thought of.

This HUGE question I feel has been my roadblock in making a decision:

I would be traveling solo, mostly boondocking. The home away from home could range from a tent, cargo trailer, Casita, Escape, an Older Class A, or a B+.

In the case of me having a medical emergency while on the road, solo traveling ...

What would happen to my three hounds if something were to happen during my medical emergency?
