RVing With Two Small Stroller Dogs

I've been wanting to make a travel blog for a long time. I'm trying to learn enough to share my travels with friends and family. It will also make a nice journal for myself to refer back to for future trips.

I tried making a blog with Wordpress for my last big trip. I used my iPhone to take all the photos, and an iPad to posts to the blog. Plus I was having trouble trying to learn Wordpress. You can read about that trip on my other blog if interested. I'm using Blogger for this blog.

My goal is a permanent record of places I travel, complete with routes taken, places I camped or visited, along with photos. I also want to document ideas, tips and helpful info on RV travel with dogs.  So many restrictions about where dogs are allowed to go, I want to list places that are "dog friendly".

Of course having small dogs that fit in a dog stroller make taking dogs to places so much easier. I take them into visitor centers, stores, museums and places dogs usually don't go. With them in the dog stroller, many people don't even notice it's a couple of dogs instead of a baby I was pushing around. Both of my 8 lb dogs love riding in the stroller. When I go in a public building I just zip the stroller closed so people can't touch or easily see them. Many times, it's the owner of the store that wants to see and pet them, so I just unzip the stroller and they get lots of attention.

RV Sue and her dogs Bridget and Spike liked my dog stroller too, when I met her in Anza Borrego in 2012

I've got three dog strollers! The green one above was my first. The front wheel didn't roll correctly, so I bought the gray one below at Petsmart. It rolls really nice on hard surfaces. I got it right before my trip up 395 to Oregon in 2013.

Employee in Visitor Center in Bishop even "baby sat" Bella while I went across the street to a famous bakery

Bella got to go on the boat with me in Oregon

Now that I got Chica, she rides along with Bella too
Got this
stroller from Amazon in 2015. 

I bought this black all terrain dog stroller with the large, air filled tires, so it would roll over rougher campground roads of gravel. The gray stroller with the small plastic wheels struggled in gravel. I'll still use them both. The gray one is lighter and easier to carry to the car or RV and is fine for going to stores or on walks with hard surfaces. The black stroller is a lot heavier and takes up more room in the car, but will be used when needed.
