Glitch

So we had fun testing out the van at Fitzroy Provincial park. Everything worked fantastic, It drives a little slow but it is a 81 after all. Takes 15 minutes to set up/ take down.

The glitch is our dog.... we were letting him run and he was having a ball zigzagging all over the beach in and out of the water. Later at the campsite he started yelping when he tried to drain himself on a tree. Then he couldn't climb into the van on his own and everytime he moved quickly he yelped in pain for a full minute.

Turns out he may have a pinched nerve in his back. The vet put him on Prednazone, however he was still in pain. He has spent this week learning to walk not run everywhere he goes. This is sad for a little dog with so much bounce in him. We were planning to take him with us - but now he needs Xrays and possibly chiropractic care. I can really empathize with him cause I have a similar problem - (yeah, I can't jump and run in circles either, LOL)

We will monitor this closely and hope Charlie is going to be able to make the trip.

Updated the year of the vehicle - just a few years older than I first posted. 1981 making it 28 years old.
