Hi Matthew I just recently moved from Florida to Colorado with my cat whom by the way has never been in a vehicle just to the vets. Omg. I was so nervous She started crying so I covered the carrier. She drove like a champ the rest of the way. Absolute Angel

Dang good thing you fixed the hitch and saved your $$ for this bill. Good job.

You sure got everything organized well for your trip to BC. And if you actually forgot something,I’m sure Mom can help you out! Good job Matthew. Enjoy your time with Brooklyn and the rest of the family. Cheers…..

I want to have something special for dinner and been having trouble trying to decide what to have, that is, until I saw what you fixed for lunch -- the bacon wrapped beef filet. Every birthday is special because in 2010, I almost left this world from pancreatitis when I was 59 years old. Since then, every birthday has been a milestone for me. LOVE ❤️ your videos. Have fun with your family.

Unfortunately the cost of vehicle maintenance has gotten crazy especially if you need a battery. What happened to Henry Fords idea making cars the average person could own. 😢

[@MarianneHK]

Hi Matthew, please consider the safety of Penny and yourself in case you have an accident or such. A proper carrier, strapped with a seat belt will protect both Penny and you. In a crash situation the tent might fly loosely, Penny in it, and might end up hurting you and Penny. Something I know we would not want to see as we all love your videos. ❤

Penny prob connects enclosed carrier ,less freedom and in different vechile means VET 👀 Glad you found out what grinding sound was. Always a worry when not sure what it is and vechile is your home as well as vechile. Glad you got it done before they failed and you have 2nd vechile as a back up.

I would like to offer my opinion like everyone else 😂 but I remember when you were coming back from bc and your brakes were getting hot/sticking. It is very common around that year for the emergency brake cable rusting and sticking on a bit or fully when you release it….yes it happened to me ! So now that you replaced the brakes I hope they checked them otherwise ? Just sharing my opinion because I’m 12 years older than you and I know everything !! 😂 Take care
