Pacific Northwest Poultry Association double show, Salem, OR Oct 13-14, 2012

Well my DH has said that we can go down to the show. He's even giving up a clam dig for it. Now I know that the only reason is because he's hoping to find some heritage brahmas. He likes big chickens.

I still have not gotten a confirmation from my boss that I will have the weekend off but I have a backup plan if I can't get it off...... "*cough* *cough*, sorry boss, I caught the bug that has been going around work and *cough* can't make it in today and I feel horrible so I might miss tomorrow too *cough* *cough*"

I used to show dogs also. Then I showed cats (TICA). Do you still show dogs? What breed(s)? I showed Pomeranians and Havanese. We really didn't need to buy a Suburban. What I really wanted was a canopy for one of our pick ups but since I couldn't find a used one, it was going to cost $1000. We wouldn't use it often so instead we spent $3K on a whole vehicle we probably won't use very often..... go figure. I think the burban will be great for the shows and the chickens will have the benefit of heat or a/c.
I, now, show Poms (been showing since 1979, Mals & Sibs but had to give them up when my spinal condition progressed to the point that I could no longer care for them). One of my puppies, 11 months- at his first show this year- took two Group 1's and one BIS. I was pretty thrilled. My dogs LOVE the MH as much as I do. It's their home away from home. One of my Rescue's, Sampson, stays on the dash (when parked). He loves being higher than everyone else.

I know what you mean. When I had a travel trailer, I bought a Jeep Limited (V8) to pull it. Fell in love with the Jeep and am selling my Grand Caravan now. While my Jeep's V8 is a bit smaller than yours, I still love that growly sound that it makes. What surprised me is that it's gas mileage is only a little off from the V6 Caravan. Did not expect that!

Of course, if you want to get a REAL pump shock, fill up a Motorhome. Ouch!! I was also lucky with it. It gets 10 - 11 MPG and is 32 feet long. That is SERIOUSLY great for one that size.
