My friend Steve has run into some health problems that have laid him up. I had planned to leave here 10 days ago and start my summer trip up north but his health took a dive and he needed me to stay and watch after him. You don't abandon a friend so I've been taking care of him. He's going to have to go into the hospital for 10-14 days to get more care and that leaves the problem of what to do with his dog Zeke.
Zeke is a great dog, one of the worlds best! If he has to he will leave him in boarding but that's a last resort when you love your dog. He'd like to have someone come and watch him and he will pay you $10 a day. Zeke needs the minimum of attention, like Steve and I, he lives wild. The door to Steve's trailer is always open and Zeke comes and goes as he pleases. Steve was in the hospital once before and I watched Zeke for him. The only thing you have to do is give him food and water once a day!! That's all, otherwise Zeke is totally self-reliant. He would like it if you petted him and threw his ball or frisbee but he can live without it.
Zeke will not leave the trailer other than to go poop and pee, he is totally devoted to Steve and he will stay here until Steve comes home even if that is the rest of his life. I've never seen such love and devotion! For awhile he will howl every night, calling for his loved one, you are just going to have to get used to that!
We are in the Prescott NF just off Highway 89 about 30 miles north of Prescott and 17 miles north of Chino Valley. So shopping is far away but it's free camping and we haven't seen any Rangers, it's too early for that. We are at 5200 feet so the weather has been just about perfect, 70s during the day and 40s at night. It's a pretty area and the internet is acceptable if you have a Sleek amplifier and antenna.
I know most of you are too far away but we are just taking long shot in the dark that it might work out okay for somebody. If not he will board Zeke for 10-14 days and get his health back on track.
