Just Lounging Around

We have been at Entegra since Friday night.  The sign on the door said I wasn't allowed, but another customer said I should just walk in and lay down.  That is what I did.  We have a rep that schedules all our work and keeps track of the progress. She came out and met me and didn't say anything about me being in the lounge.  On Tuesday, they held a class in the lounge and since it was a rainy day, I went to class. Donuts were served.  Yum!  There has been a lab here, so I am not the only dog violating the rules. The head of customer service used to have a greyhound and she has said "Hi" to me each day, so I guess it is not an issue since I am so good.  I get talked to by most of the customers. They are amazed that I am so quiet.

We sat outside for a while on Monday since it was nice out.

 Each morning, we have to be ready for the tech.  We have to have all the slides in and ready for him to drive it away at 6:30 a.m.  That means that each morning we put everything away and at night, we put everything back out.  The days are long, but it has been fun being in the lounge.  It is not as boring as you would think since most of the customers are here for a week and we just sit around and talk and watch TV.  We go to lunch each day.  I really like this type of living.

The parking lot looks sad with all the motor homes gone.

 We have been very happy with everything that has been fixed.  Our Samsung microwave/convection oven has had problems since almost the beginning.  It had trouble heating up. So, they gave us a new Whirlpool microwave/convection oven.  We had thirty things on our list that needed to be fixed.  I can't remember them all, but I will try to list what has been fixed.  The screen door, the front door now will stay open when we want it to do so, radio antenna (didn't know it was broke), three new windows were installed (we didn't know they were a problem), shower trim replaced, washing machine fixed, cabinets sanded and touched up, new windshield wipers and arms, cracked floor tiles replaced, aqua hot pump replaced (we now have heat!), big slide was adjusted, outside lights replaced, shade motors replaced and shades adjusted so they are even when up and some other mechanical things that Mom and I don't understand.  I know there are other things that have been fixed but I can't remember.  Today, they are working on our toilet, bedroom slide, our couch. The couch is "L" shaped and when we travel, the "L" part has to be pushed in. The lock broke, so it doesn't stay in.  Our chairs are getting new fabric.  We were taught how to use our remote for the slides and our auto door lock is being programmed for us.

The rigs are brought back to their sites after 3 p.m. each day. Sometimes it is after 4 p.m. We usually talk to our tech to see what has been accomplished.  Our rep meets with us in the morning to go over what is scheduled for the day.  It is very organized.

Our new microwave.

Tuesday, listening to the class.

I moved off the rug.

Back on the rug.

The customer lounge is really nice.

There I am. See me?

From Hotel Living To Parking Lot Living

Sometimes you have to look up.

It can be very interesting.

Any guesses what had my attention for five minutes and made my body tremble?

Yep, it is a squirrel.

Yesterday was moving day!!!!

Do you think Mom over packed?

Checking to make sure my stuff has been packed.

We drove to the body shop and waited inside while they put the finishing touches on our home.

I was a perfect guest, don't you think?

Precision Painting did a great job on our rig.  They were able to finish it on time even though we arrived two days late.  They kept us informed and were very nice.

Finally, it was time to head to Entegra.  We will be there for a week getting other repairs made. I am a little disappointed as I thought we would be in a campground.  There are other rigs here. We are actually in a parking lot!  Mom and Dad knew, but I didn't.

Ahhh....it is nice to be home again.

Here I am checking out my site.

Boring!

Here are the other campers.

 Actually, there is a nice dog park here.  This morning at 4 a.m., I ran and ran and ran.  BOL!

My couch!!!!  I love my couch!

They start working on our rig on Monday.  It will be a long week as we have to be out of the rig at 6:30 a.m. each day.  There is a sign on Entegra's door saying "For the enjoyment of all our customers, no dogs OVER 30 POUNDS are allowed in the lounge." Well, we are customers and it definitely doesn't add to enjoyment if I am not allowed in the lounge.  A guy that Mom talked to at the body shop said he had just left Entegra and they allowed a lady with a lab and a boxer in the lounge, so maybe they will allow me.  Stay tuned.

Nine Is Mighty Fine!

Today is my 9th birthday!  Woo Hoo!  

I started out with a walk at 4:30 a.m.  We then went back to bed.  Later, Mom fixed breakfast and I ate a scrambled egg.  Mom said we needed to leave the room so that the housekeeper could clean our room. They only clean it once a week.  That is fine with us because we really don't like having someone come into our room.  If we need clean towels, soap, etc., we just tell the front desk and they give it to us.  Mom borrowed a blender from them yesterday and she made me frosties.

We drove to Enchanted Gardens which is really a plant nursery, but they have paddle boats and an animal farm.  They have a TV show that airs here.  We were a little disappointed in it.  We thought it would be bigger. We weren't wanting to ride the paddle boat, but it was $3.99 a person for five minutes.  Can you imagine?  We wouldn't have even gotten seated in five minutes.  They also had bumper boats and the spot for that was big enough for two boats with not much room to bump.  Again, it was $3.99 for five minutes.  We just walked around and looked at the animals.  Two of the workers made a fuss over me. They said I could go inside the store, but Mom said I was a bull in a china shop.  She usually says a bull in a china cabinet. BOL!

It looks like they dug up some bones here.

 

I am not so sure about the animals here.

They wanted us to feed them.

This is the paddle boat.

I wasn't ready to leave, but Mom said we would stop at another park.  We drove to Ox Bow County Park.  They charge $2 a car to enter.  We walked on a few trails there.

I thought we were going to go out for lunch, but Dad got distracted.  We drove back to the hotel and were happy to see that the housekeeper had cleaned the room.

Here are photos of our room:

Yes, I am pouting because I didn't get a burger for lunch.

Mom left after lunch and went shopping.  Dad and I stayed behind and napped.  We were tired from our morning out.

It was a beautiful day here with the temperature in the 70's.  It was a nice birthday.
