FML is on the move!

Yap, we had to move it YET again.  But better it is before we build around it... Blessing in disguise I guess.

Now we're in a more rural area and we'll be able to help my grandpa at his farm.  The insane woman is looking at buying nearby land for herself (works for us, I got my eye on the bunkhouse for a super tiny art studio!) and there is the possibility of me and Sal getting it to ourselves for a few weeks so we can have some time just us and probably the hounds because they are troublemakers.

So that is exciting.  Before my Birthday we'll be doing to build the structure and lay grass with our nest egg (thank goodness because we were about to need to tap into it!  Life is rough when no one hires).


While we're there I'll probably do some daily vlogs about our first days living in the camper alone even though it would only be a few days... I'll do a blog post on it too and I'll probably take that time to do a post on Princess Lily because we'll be taking her along because she loves long rides and she enjoys tons of attention.  We were going to take River since she has separation anxiety but Lily is just a handful so we wanna bring her with us to save ma some grief.  River is usually okay for a day or two as long as we call and leave with our "Travel" bags... Now if any boxes go with us she'll flip her shit.

While we're staying we'll be taking tons of measurements because we need to do something about our closets and I wanna get a hanging bin thing but I need the size... And it is surprisingly hard to find out how big a bloody damn closet is... Also, want to buy or build some pull-out shelving for our pantry because lazy susans help but we gotta take everything out to really reach them and we need all that space!


We'll also be looking at the decor.  I'm an artist so I want to hang a few of my pieces and some art I've found and just want in view.  Make it homey.  I also need to find a place for our logo.  We are going to have 2-3 logos on the camper and I'm currently trying to pick a design.  I want one inside, one on the back, and one on the side.  I want one to be a saying, another a welcome sign of sorts, and the back one to be a link to the blog because hey, its aMutt Hutt.

It'll also be a chance for us to figure out what we will and won't use because I need a lot of room for my art supplies since its a career choice.  But Sal and I are also big gamers and he is unwilling to use a laptop so we have to have PC room.  I'm also setting up an Etsy, a personal store, and the like because I enjoy doing crafts and they got to go.  I work cheap for that reason, I love doing it and I just need to get by not get rich.

I also hope to start offering things for you our lovely followers who read my random off the wall rants.  I hope they will be more focused once were IN the camper since I'll have an easier time staying on that topic.

I think i've rambled enough for this post so this is Linda, signing off! /salute

Meet the Mutts: Hoss

Today I want you to meet a member of the pack that till recently we werent sure if he'd be with us for the move...

Hoss just had his spleen removed days ago.  What the vet thought was pneumonia was actually a infected spleen... Nope, wait!  Thats not a infection, its CANCER! 

As the vet opened him up the spleen started rupturing and had 5 golf ball sized masses and it was the size of a large dinner plate... 

The surgery was a success.  This Senior pupper dodged a bullet, the cancer hadnt spread and was completely removed with his spleen.

As I type this he is happily wagging his tail and smiling just like in the photo.

This photo was taken 2 days after the surgery when we picked him up. 


Hoss is a rescue between 12-16 years old.  He is 100% healthy except for arthritis (This was the vets opinion, this is one healthy dog!).  And even though hes a rescue we found him and he was 2+ full grown... We've had him 11 years.. So yes, this is that super ripped, healthy old man you see lifting weights.  He is the Chuck Norris of doggos and we call him Big Boss sometimes.  And he is a very, VERY happy boy-o.  Always wagging his tail and smiling like in the photo.

And I love him soo much.  He is my baby.  He is protective, loves kids, and has a great attitude.

I have spoiled him rotten.  He also likes giving "gifts."

Not like cats... He brings us toys!  Food?  He gets a toy for us.  Outside?  Finds a toy.  Home? Have a toy!

He also dislikes cats... That and his barking (He is a hound, it is loud and endless but expected for his breed).. Thats his only bad points to me.

And.. Thats Hoss-Boss.

Checklist, What do we still need?

One of our first post was about crap we needed... But werent provided.  Since then we've come to a few decisions and we've been buying the stuff we need along the way but we arent there yet..  So I need to reorganize my list too.

So what we got from those list...

SWAY BARS!

30 to 15 amp adapter plug

Surge Protector

Pressure Regulator

Water Hose

Paper Towel (and spice rack, and tin foil, and clear wrap) holder! 

Lazy Susans (instead of drawers!)

K Cup Drawers!  Hey, they fit my pantry.

Storage bin with drawers

A small TV for the back bunk


I got a lot of other useless shit too!

Like some monitor raisers for desk, a arm for my art tablet-want more for all the monitors because they are nice to be able to move them... Coffee machines!  We have two!  A K cup for inside and a 12 cupper for outside!  We also got heaters because Hoss got sick so we had to buy one... But its working great.  Outdoor table.. We have one, were taking it with us.






Things still need

Bucket... Composting Toilet thing, still a thing!  No want sewer thing.

Toilet Paper Holder to put in our shed of a toilet.. I know, it sounds so wrong so lets just say its a out house.

Rolling Cart for Kitchen or a butcher block stove cover and knife magnet! 

Extended shower curtain rod.. Oh yah.

Another flat screen TV for OUR entertainment center.. Sal likes his consoles.. I like my TV



More things I want:

Sal and I have closets that are long not wide..  So we need something for our closets so we can fold/roll our clothes rather then hang and have our undies and socks in there too!

Build a Desk.  We need to build our desk.. Oh yah, but Sal and I will have our PCs off the ground on the back bench with a whole bench each for us to enjoy.  Come winter we can warm our selves.. with the PCs!

Some small Desk drawers... Or basic storage stuff for my art stuff...

A Grill!  Or fire pit to cook outdoors

Some stairs or desk or we have to build some..

Some outdoor seating..


And I think were good.. 

I did a thing.  I updated.  I will keep updating..  Keep up the schedule.

Meet the Mutts: BB

Leading our instagram page is the nutty and terrifying Queen B!  Betty Boop by legal name graciously given by a little old lady.

Bb came from the shelter after being there a full hour because she had only just arrived... and latched on to moms arm.  And she got brought home.

She's a spoiled little westie mix and has bad allergies and bladder stone issues.  She loves my husband and is use to being called cute.

And no, she isn't a lapdog.  Very independent.

We got a Instagram!

The joy of instagram is that I can post photos randomly with no actual captions. 

So if you like the blog consider checking it out for daily photos of the pups with captions in BB point of view!

@mutts_of_the_hutt_on_wheels

We look forward to seeing you there! 

I gotta get on a schedule..

Yah, married and disappeared, I'm horrible I know!  But I'll get better!

I want to start up a Doggy instagram, some portraits and at the end of March we should finally be building our structure yippie!

If you've been with us this long then you rock to sit with us.  Expect more soon, ive got a schedule!

Just Married

Sal and I will be married tomorrow so I was taking my first vacation in years and did little comic panels.  You can see them and more on my social media account like Twitter and Instagram you'll also hear about when my first comic hits and what the site is.  Special bonus, I often share adorable pics of the mutts.

Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
