Dogs required to be in strollers, etc. rather than walked to pet area?
(Preview)
We've only been in the RV for six weeks, but we've run into something we think is odd. The RV park has a nice dog walk area, but will not allow dog owners to walk their dogs through the park.

Where to put the litter box
(Preview)
I think I found another answer to the question of where to hide the litter box: if you Google 'hidden litter box' you will get several hits for covered litter boxes that are designed to look like a planter. They're not cheap, but you could put them anywhere you like. Tim Fansler

He's usually fine after the first or second meeting. To be on the safe side, I keep them both on a very short leash and control t...
