So in my off-river times I'll work on educational outreach & publicity. We'll also be working together on developing New Media strategies, via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Exciting. And my rig will be 100 yards from my work space so I'll be able to make arrangements for someone to "pee" the dogs while I'm on the river.
Beats picking up trash and staffing the visitor center.
The woman I talked to said she really likes her vet in McAllen, about a half hour away. I know many of you travel with ailing pets ... and I think it only matters that he's with me. He's going down the MH steps just fine (I hold his harness so that he knows I won't let him fall) and I lift him over the 1st three steps onto the interior MH steps. I do this because the first step is rather a reach because I had to raise the MH quite high to level it on the site. He's only 20 lbs. so it's not a problem.
Anyway, this means I'll be in the MH seven months this year -- which is what I like.
Oh, and one benefit to having a dog who can't always control his bladder ... it's a great indication of how level the rig is.
Is working on the media part of the volunteering? carold
