(Las Cruces, NM) Last night was so interesting. As you'll recall, the heater got the house to about 63 before going off. We had turned the heat up hoping it would come on. But it didn't, so we went to bed. The three big dogs slept in a bedroom with me and Mike slept on the couch in the living room with Boogie tucked away in his crate. Mike needed extra blankets as he was cold so he got some out of the RV.
About 2:00am, Slugger woke me up crying and crying. When I got the light on I noticed that Slugger was standing in the middle of the room with a huge tongue, Sparkie was panting like crazy, and Wazzu was plastered against the door. I was sweating to beat the band. About that same time, Mike came down the hall to see what was wrong. As he opened the door he was overtaken by the heat.
I guess during the night the heater decided to work! Before going to bed we had turned it down to 70 - which was fine for the entire house except for this one room. It was fine with me as I'd rather be hot than cold. But at that point Slugger and Sparkie went out into the living room to sleep with Mike (we had their beds there for them). I left the bedroom door open since it was so hot. A couple hours later I was really cold.
This was all just too funny. Mike thinks we're jinxed when it comes to heat now!
Mike got up really early to feed the dogs and get on his way to Texas to get the RV fixed. The dogs then got back on their pillows and we all slept a little more.
A few hours later Mike called to say that the service people had looked over the RV and said everything looks fine - it just doesn't work. Exactly what Mike had found when he looked it over. So they were going to call the manufacturer of the unit to see if they had any ideas on what may be the problem. Turns out we need a part that will have to be shipped from the manufacturer. Mike opted to pay to have the part shipped overnight.
So at 3pm he drove back and parked the RV at Meg's house and headed over to Harriet's house to pick us up. In the meantime Harriet had returned home along with her four border terriers - one of which is Boogie's dad and one is Boogie's sister. It was a little interesting with eight dogs there even though there were plenty of separate areas for them to all play.
We can't say how grateful we are that Harriet let us stay at her house. Meg and Harriet are both the nicest most gracious people you could ever want to meet. We are so lucky to have met them and gotten a puppy from them. I could go on and on about how conscientious they are with their puppies and how good they are to all the owners. They truly love each one of them. We're absolutely positive we couldn't have found better or nicer breeders anywhere!
Anyway, we got back to Meg's and are once again settled back in our cold tin can. It's supposed to be 22 again tonight. Brrrr. But at least we can look forward to being all fixed up tomorrow!
