Many thanks to all of you for your replies! I've been on the road for a week and just now went online. Just knowing there are folks here who care and post is a wonderful feeling. Humor, concern, advice....it's all good.
I do keep the pups on a short leash and never leave them alone, so I do feel much better after reading through the comments.
There's so much to learn with a new RV. I'm a bit overwhelmed; so thank you all for your advice.
