Why don’t we see Gizmo anymore?

Unfortunately, Gizmo passed away in November 2022. He was 15, and his health declined fast. He lived a great life and will be missed every day!

WHAT KIND OF DOG IS GIZMO?

Gizmo is a 15-year-old American Eskimo and Shih Tzu mix.

Did Gizmo have a hard time adjusting to RV life?

Initially, Giz was not a fan of riding in the RV. He would get nervous as we drove down the road. It took about three months for him to start relaxing during our travels. At this point, it is just another day for him.

DO YOU LEAVE GIZMO ALONE?

Yes, we leave Gizmo alone in the RV. The RV is our home, not a car, so we feel comfortable leaving him while exploring an area. But we take precautions to ensure the temperature stays safe for him with our Govee thermometer.

HOW DO YOU KEEP GIZMO SAFE?

RV temperature is the biggest safety concern for Gizmo. To keep him safe, we use the Govee thermometer to ensure the rig stays at a safe temperature when we are away. It is connected to our wifi so we can read the temperature on our phone anytime. It will also send alerts if the temperature exceeds our safe temperature settings.
