Thanks for all the suggestions. Gotta find the charging cord to see if that idea will work.

A great big thank you to @flaflwrgrl.
She allowed me to send the photos to her phone; then she sent them to my email so y'all could see the happy dogs playing on the bed. Thank you everyone for helping me to learn a new skill.
Here are Jack and George - their fist time on the bed in the RV. (Jack always has an old man face when he's relaxed. )


Now if someone would be kind enough to teach George not to hog the bed...

Ha, I was going to say there isn't much room left for you! You'll all be cozy and warm though.

Plato gave us another scare resultant of his weird and all-consuming eating habits. Last week, he ate a sock, the whole thing. Again tried the hydrogen peroxide on bread snack to get him to throw it up, again that failed. He didn't seem affected by it, we decided to observe closely and if he displayed any uncomfortable behaviors to get him to the vet fast. I was so joyed when he did void it by throwing up later that day. Despite the sock being almost whole we decided to not keep the sock...he wasn't even offended when we called 'Iron Stomach'. We've since vowed to be more diligent when placing anything unsupervised in his immediate sphere of activity irregardless if we deem said objects consummation potential as negligible or even non-exhistant.

Oh my...you've got a challenging and scary situation on your hands with Plato's eating habits! I'm sure he is well fed and has chews to gnaw on.

So perplexing why some dogs will swallow inedible stuff.

When we offer our bull/mastiff a snack, he will take it with his mouth but will promptly drop it onto the ground, sniff it, then will eat it after he deems it's edible.

I have only gotten as far as the
The Feral Family ,



I am still looking for homes for these ,, But a 5 below morning I let them in , as I will care for them anyway ,

Aww...compassionate soul you have, Jim! These babies are precious! Hope they will get a forever home soon with loving and caring souls like you!

Young animals have to learn how to deal with real cold temperatures .. One was in the Dryer pipe opening that goes through the garage . There is an opening in the wall ,where the kittens will get between the wall ,, They yell and scream all the time below 20 degrees ,,
Older animals will also die in these temperatures ,
Most , will be good down to 25 or 30 below . But it is not good for them ,, and those temperatures I do not like either , I would rather stay in myself , truly ,,,

I have seen feral cats and dogs , dig burrows just like Rabbits and Ground Hogs , A Bear cave or den thing I guess it is ,, At 40 below it stays above 0 with several of them piled on one another .

@jmorth
Holy cow! Scary, scary, scary!!!! You are sooooooooooooooooo lucky! Boy am I ever glad he urped that sock up!!! That would have been surgery otherwise. Whoa! My heart will be pounding the rest of the day. Yours too I'm sure!

Jim, so caring taking care of those ferals.

Greene, you're more than welcome! The last photo is my fav of all of them.

Look at those dogs! Checking out the window view, seeing what's under the pillows, trying the bed out for comfort & size. Approving all!

The sock incident was frightening. Glad to hear everything turned out okay.

It's good to bring the feral cats inside away from the cold. I am wondering...if they are truly feral they would not want to come inside. Do you think someone owned these cats at one time and abandoned them?

This morning (yikes!!It is SO COLD here this morning!!) I took only Jack for a walk. He was wearing his warm hoodie.
George will be getting the "silent treatment" from me today. For the past several days he allowed me to put a hoodie on him but this morning he tried to bite my hand...several times...it was not a mistake and he did not apologize. So...I will not speak to him and see if he gets the message that biting is wrong; biting the hand that feeds you is just plain stupid.

greene they were born here , the mother was killed about the time they were weaned , the oldest kitten a few weeks later ,

The oldest male at 9 weeks ,,

Yikes, that is scary that Plato ate the whole sock! It's good it came back up. Vets see animals all the time who require surgery to remove foreign objects. Some dogs even eat big rocks!

My neighbor warned me that dogs in town have been being poisoned. The poisoners are throwing poisoned hot dogs over fences.

We all have our hydrogen peroxide close at hand and are being extra vigilant.

It's very scarey.

Please be careful. The dog poisonings in Mexico are serious. I found several articles; here are 3 :

Are there any surveillance cameras that the authorities or the homeowners can use to find this creep?

Oh no, I hope you can keep your dogs safe. That's horrible.

Oh my, yup you really need to be extra careful.

Can't tell you what I think should be done to the low life that is doing the poisoning!! %*&^%#!! Truly scary. Yes, be especially careful.

It is good that you are watching over them. They are fortunate.

Happy dogs. I guess they will really enjoy the new home. Lovely pictures so thanks to all that made it happen.

I have been giving Lily Raw Chicken Wings or I should say the two end pieces raw. I had been cutting off that most thick piece with the biggest bone. Today I got raw wings at the supermarket. I decided to be brave. Gave her the entire wing. Didn't even cut it. Anyway after her looking at it I guess trying to figure out why it was so big and how to eat it, we she did eat it just fine. Lots of crunching going on. Took her a while but she managed the entire wing just fine. She does love raw chicken.

Now she is busy barking out the front window. Must be a dog walking by.
