Trapped In Our New RV

[@linmurray436]

Scout is a little rascal. My pup found a bearded dragon in our garden once and she came and got me , she loved it, she just watched and watched him, gave him a little nose bump. No one ever claimed him so we took him to our Veterinarian who had a huge habitat built in his office. We stopped by to see him occasionally and he looked very happy!

[@WaywardWaggs]

What an awesome story. Someone probably released him if they didn't want him anymore. So glad you found him.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

The things we do for our four legged family members. We had to do the cardboard thing for our cat. So many open cavities in these rigs! Glad he’s safe and the rv is in one piece 💙🤗

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thanks guys. We think we have all the holes plugged now.

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Scout is getting older and wants his own space to get away for a while. 😂 It was awesome getting to meet the little superstar today. Now Ginger had a new pet to add to the ark wish list.

[@WaywardWaggs]

2021 hide and seek champ. 🤣

[@RobWisemanDeezFit]

Look back threw comments.... When you went to Alliance I mentioned to crawl around and close everything up... Live Love Well.

[@shustrings]

I think Scout should be a paid consultant for the RV manufacturer for finding all those concerning escape routes. Glad he's ok!

[@WaywardWaggs]

That would be a great job for Scout. 🤣

[@steved7012]

Scout rocks! Plus everyone has the staple gun problem with sizing, so take comfort 👍

[@WaywardWaggs]

I thought it was just me. Glad I'm not the only one with staple gun struggles.

[@Cdentonphr]

Staple some chicken wire over all the openings!! It's easy to work with! So GLAD you found him!! 💕

[@TheLakingc]

Wear gloves! I got a lot of scratches messing with chicken wire reinforcing our dog fence here.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We did find a solution. Almost like chicken wire but a little more sturdy. We will share in the all about Scout video coming up soon.

[@meltil1858]

So happy to hear Scout is fine & you temp solved the problem. When I get home I'm gonna check the under side of our island to see if it's open. Because I just got 2 Sweet Green Cheek Conures babies who love to fly and walk around on our floor. Thanks!! Thank you for your service. My husband is retired Navy. God Bless

[@WaywardWaggs]

Your birds would definitely fit in the opening in ours. Good idea to check yours.

[@RaleyCreativeTravel]

Good thing Scout was ok. Glad you were able to pull him to Safety!!

[@WaywardWaggs]

[@NewHorizons2020]

Wow! I wouldn't even think about that was a open area area the bar. We have to baby proof our homes for our pets like we do for children.

[@WaywardWaggs]

So true. We never even thought to look up there until this.

[@AvengerRVAdventure]

Glad to see Scout was safely rescued from his island jail without Leslie going all Rambo on the island. I have to wonder if those areas were left open intentionally for ventilation? Could you replace the cardboard with something like window screen? Is that something that would be Scout proof? You could easily use some of that lifetime supply of staples and staple that in. Thanks for sharing! Steve

[@WaywardWaggs]

We found a permanent solution. Got some wire mesh and stapled it up there. No more hide and seek for Scout.

[@sherriweber7105]

You gave me a scare there. I thought something was wrong with Scout and when you said he was missing I said oh no. I was glad to hear there was nothing he was dying of. Sad he went missing. Glad you found him and he was ok. Glad you boarded that up where you found him. The way he looked was like I know I did something wrong and I won’t do it again. He was sorry I believe for what he did. I was laughing when you talked about staple gun and staples. You both are so funny! But I’m so glad Scout is back with Mommy and Daddy. I can tell Leslie was happy too! Looking forward to see you both soon! Have a great week.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We are glad he is safe and sound. We have fixed it permanently now. No more hide and seek for Scout.

[@sherriweber7105]

@@WaywardWaggsThat’s a good one. Lol! 😂 He did play hide and seek with you.

[@ralphnoyes5698]

Scout was just scouting out the lay of the land he feels with his name that's his job. Glad you found him safe and sound. Remember that any repair work that should be easy never is. Catch you later.

[@WaywardWaggs]

So true. It is always more difficult than we think.

[@pamelamargroff5836]

Makes me think when they ask us to crawl the floor and look around when we had babies! To keep then safe.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We did that after this scare. I think we have it all buttoned up now.

[@BrazenBrits]

Glad he's safe. I would give anything to see Dustin getting angry because he can't load a staple gun. Just the thought of it makes me smile a full on grin.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Looking back, it is funny but at the time, I was super pissed. 🤣

[@HappyPlaceDiaries]

That look that Scout has at the end clearly says he was just a few scratches away from freedom! I think I would go with a nice layer of chicken wire.. maybe even concertina wire around the base of the island.. that will keep him in check. Oh yeah.. thoughts and prayers for Scout... haha.. glad it all worked out and Scout is fine, Leslie didn't hurt things.. and it was only a little Boo Boo for Dustin. Thanks for sharing guys!

[@WaywardWaggs]

We have it fixed up now. No more scares.

[@annparham3466]

I understand your frustration! I had to take my rig to the dealership to get them to fix my door and while I was inside checking in for service my 15 lb cat crawled up in the dash of my motor home! I tried to get him out while I was waiting for the work to be done and even cut my arm on something! Still couldn't get him out! Needless to say he road 45 miles all the way back to my home base under the dash! I still haven't figured out a way to keep my cats from getting under there! If anyone has an idea, let me know! Thank goodness your baby is safe!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Wow. That is scary. Glad you finally got your cat out.

[@billb672]

Scout was just playing a little hide n seek with you guys. Sounds like you didn't get much range detail time with the staple gun. Glad all is OK, can't wait for the next video.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Ya. He is a little bugger

[@robrob31295]

😆💕safe and sound !!!

[@ThoseTrekkinThigpens]

Oh, wow! Glad you found Scout! Bet that issue never came up in Alliance's quality control!

[@WaywardWaggs]

🤣 Probably not.

[@jessedebaca7309]

Try a gutter guard screen. Can get it in 3 or 4 foot rigid strips and they also have a rolled mesh style.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Great minds think alike. That is exactly what we used as the permanent fix. It works great.

[@suey7131]

You might want to crawl through the rv on Scouts level and make sure there are no more surprise hidey holes anywhere. I used to have to do that for my ferrets any place new we moved to.

[@WaywardWaggs]

We did that after this scare and hopefully we found all the spots.

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

Poor baby. I'm glad it worked out and y'all found him. Where did Scout get his name??

[@WaywardWaggs]

Leslie named him. She said he looked curious; like he wanted to explore or scout things out. So he became Scout.

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

@@WaywardWaggs My kids and I are reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and the little girl's nickname is Scout, so when I heard y'all say his name, it made me wonder where it came from :)

I’m amazed with Scout. Not sure i could care for one. Love watching him in the tv screen though 🙃

[@Meredith471]

I totally agree with you! I love watching him and I am totally amazed by him, but I know I couldn't properly care for Scout or any reptile.

[@WaywardWaggs]

They are actually very low maintenance when they are adults. Babies are a lot of work and quite expensive because they eat so much. We will be doing a video all about it coming up soon.

Hey guys, love the channel! I did a quick search of your videos and was wondering if you could talk about staying at military campgrounds? I am also a Vet who deals with the VA and now having access to military recreation facilities, it would be great to have some first hand knowledge on the process of reserving, costs and the pro's and con's of staying at military campgrounds! And if you ever decide to come north to Vermont, let me know. We have some great campgrounds here!

[@WaywardWaggs]

Great video topic idea. We might just do that. In the meantime, feel free to PM us on Facebook or Instagram with any questions about the process. We would be happy to let you know how it all works.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Very true!

[@TheLakingc]

Have you talked to Alliance about all of these openings? Isn't that a heating issue, too? If it is open to the belly, isn't it open to cold air, too? It surprises me that they don't finish better than that.

[@WaywardWaggs]

The basement of the Alliance is climate controlled so it does not let hot or cold air in. We have brought these to the attention of Alliance. For most people it is not an issue unless they have very small pets like Scout.

[@TheLakingc]

@@WaywardWaggs good. What size, model alliance do you have? Just trying to decide if we will be ok with a larger rig. I am in love with the 372RK. Just trying to decide. I am in my dog years...it will probably be my first and last 5th. I have a son with Downs, so want to go make memories, then when age catches up more, settle in a park near where he will need to go when i cannot care for him any more. Well, that's my hope at the moment. Selling our place first, of course, but wish it was tomorrow. I am glad for all the realistic videos. I would say the full timers are overcomers, too. Would you say that about the time you considered quitting was when pushing through made you glad you did not quit? My daughter was telling me she felt like quitting something important to her. I said she would never be sorry that she kept going, but if she quit, she might regret it for life. Every time i wanted to quit, the Lord sent an encourager, and i was glad i finished what I started. Many things in life have natural endings and we know the difference. So, i kind of wondered about those tough times RVing, if it was like that? However being older and arthritic wil take some determination, vision, and creativity, i imagine...and humor, yes?

[@DWDinAtlanta]

He sat there like he was so innocent! My friend was packing for a weekend trip and planned to leave her cat at home. When she got home to unpack, she opened her dresser and the cat came flying out. It had gotten in the drawer and went down to the bottom. She didn't know she was in there and closed the drawer and the poor cat was stuck in there the whole weekend, no one was home. HUGS~Donna

[@WaywardWaggs]

Oh my gosh. Poor cat. Glad it finally got out though.

[@BobKeefe]

Whew! Glad you found him and that he’s safe & sound 😃 I had that happen with my cat. I brought her home as a tiny kitten and there was an opening under the bathroom vanity like that. She crawled in there and I couldn’t find her for quite a while.

He had been downstairs right near the front door when the storm began....running upstairs we flung open the bedroom door calling his name....no response. Then, we saw the lump under the bed which was made...he crawled under the bedspread all the way to the pillow, threw his arms back and went to sleep!
