The cross looks pretty over the rose paper. As far as the dog, will take time. Best bet is to pack away breakables, and just let him stand as he wants. Take short rides everyday and show him he’s not trapped. After a while he should calm and start to lay on his own, that’s when you know he’s trusting being in the van. Probably traumatized from the van he was shipped in. They usually don’t temperature control and stack them in.

I just found your channel and I love hearing your stories. Great find at the thrift store, just beautiful cross. Your videos are great even without editing them. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing ❤ Many blessings, hugs, love, and prayers on your travels.

Hi, I just found your channel and I think you're doing a very good job making videos! We're about the same age, reflecting on your life at this stage can be draining emotionally, but it sounds like you are holding it together and trying to move forward and be positive! I wonder if Shadow might do well with some obedience classes. We took my daughters dog years ago to a class (PetsMart, not that expensive) and the instructor was wonderful! Though we didn't keep up with our end of the homework too well, the lessons on socialization worked so well! She has been a wonderful dog! Can you fix her a place in the front so she can be up front with you and see where you're going? Maybe you do that already. Still there has to be a solution! Take Care and keep making videos!

@@JJ-ol5wz this pass summer I headed out to go to North Dakota and I think she thought I was going to dump off somewhere. I fixed her leash to what was a passenger seat and she chewed through her leash. I stopped at a farm and home store and bought another one. Fixed it to my bed and she chewed that one up too. I’m working with her so hopefully she will behave. I don’t remember if I told shadows story or not but I will.

Hey, nobody looks worse on camera than me! I'm glad you opened up on your video. I hope you find a good solution for your doggie. Some animals are more into vanlife than others -- good luck. Happy Thanksgiving -- stay warm!

[@adventurebythemile]

@@bigrobsvan what you said means more to me than you think! I’m pretty isolated. I’m hoping in January I can get out of the cold and snow. Thanks for watching!

Hi. Your video popped up in my feed. I just got back from vaca in Arizona. There is so much free RV parking there. It is vehicle life friendly. We traveled in a Chrysler Pacifica me, my daughter and her little dog Mojo. It's not easy traveling with a dog. But he did extremely well. He is a small dog and there were challenges. I would never do this with a pet. I have all I can do to take care of my own sorry a$$. I am going to look at more of your videos. Do you have one of why you chose to do this?❤

[@adventurebythemile]

@@nikkipage9132 not yet but it’s a great subject to hit on. I will put it on my list.

[@lindaalaniz7129]

Hope The Lord helps you with your dog. Im praying for you.

[@gracielei76]

I have 2 EcoFlow batteries that I bought for car camping. My understanding is that cold temperatures can affect lithium batteries, so maybe that’s what’s affecting your charge and charging of your EcoFlow batteries? Just a thought. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

[@adventurebythemile]

@@gracielei76 that’s what I was thinking too.

[@Shan-ShanH]

Do you live in STL? I have a van build too. I live in the area.

[@adventurebythemile]

@@Shan-ShanH right now I’m stationary out past six flags doing some work on it. My check engine light came on and I needed to replace them I had someone help me because my van I had to remove the dog house to get to them.
