Many of us GMCERS are dog lovers. We have a Pappion that travels with us.
She loves her GMC friends and their coaches as well. At rallies, she makes
the rounds to meet and greet them all. Those few among us who don't like
dogs, just tell her to stay out, and she doesn't go near them again. Dogs
are excellent judges of character, if you dog does not like someone, there
is nearly always a good reason why. She travels very well, for weeks at a
time. Big dogs, are a special set of circumstances in a coach.
I was at a rally with some newbies who had a coach with problems that
needed my assistance. Owners told me they had dog(s) in the coach, but to
just ignore them. When I entered the coach, there were 19 dachshunds that
rushed the door. That MAY HAVE BEEN a scosche too many dogs for my taste (
and smell, too.) Couldn't get out of there soon enough. But it still goes
up in the old memory file.
