Day 133

My new favorite place to shop is Tractor Supply.  I know, I know.  I am a Yankee and a city girl at that.  Why would I like Tractor Supply? 

·       hardware

·       dump stations (sometimes)

·       propane with good-looking techs to fill my tank, (all the time).

·       DOG WASH STATIONS!

When I started planning my meanderings, I knew there were certain things I would need regularly on the road.  I read about U-Haul and their fairly consistent supply of propane.  Of course, Walmarts have been ubiquitous for all manner of hardware and more.  But what about Cooper?  He needs to be bathed regularly but there was no way to do it in the trailer, and way too cold outside to do it with the outside shower. 

So, I started searching for DIY pet washing stations.  In most largish cities there were a few, fancy and clean … and expensive.  It took me a while to notice that when I googled pet washing, TSC was on the list.  I just scrolled past them; they must have popped up for some other reason, not dog washing right?  Well, one day I needed propane and no U-hauls were available so I had to look elsewhere.  Imagine my surprise when I learned that TSC did both propane AND dog washing.  What a great find.    For well under $30 I can fill my propane take AND wash the dog using their towels.  What a deal.

I love Tractor Supply.  Definitely, my new favorite place to shop.
