We have three cats and want to get a Newf or similar breed down the road. The trailer and house call ideas both seemed really reasonable to me.
Wow a Newfoundland?? BIG DOG. Our dog-smallish female greyhound is typically leggy but well fed(70lbs the last time I cared to hoist her and step on the scale)
We have 4 indoor cats and Arty-greyhound.
But the neighbor cat eats 3 meals a day on our windowsill so we MIGHT have to evacuate him too
we also babysit a 55 lbs beagle- he could end up being evacuated with us too-
The cats need to be crated- with dog folding crates-when we evacuate-NOLA-
so the cheap ancient suburban fits the evacuation bill pretty well.
The $500 repair you mention- is dirt cheap-
Significant source of CAR STRESS is that SERVICE DEPARTMENTS- independents and MOST dealers- are chiseling THIEVES
They outright CHEAT many customers in NOLA- probably everywhere else.
