My *New* Golden Girl !!!

Here she is! She is just the sweetest, most mellow, laid back girl! She just turned 3yrs old.

Kinda funny... Katie's BD is May 26th, mine is May 28th, & my Golden Girl's BD is May 27th!

I'm considering new names, as the one she came with is nice, but she doesn't seem at all "attached" to it, & its also a bit too close to Sunny's name.
(I *could* name her "Velcro"...)

For an idea on size, that's a 10# jug of kitty litter. :)

A "Reliance Hassock" Portable Toilet

Many have asked what what we use while OTR, if we are not near any public restrooms, or overnight...& here it is...

Why one of these, & "how" do we use it??? Many reasons!

The main reason, is that I personally *hate*hate*hate* to even *think* about having to lug in a heavy "cassette" part & hate the emptying, too. Then rinsing, then refilling the top part with water, plus, there's the chemicals most add to reduce odor, & help break down solids. No thanks to all of that! LOL

I just line the interior removable bucket with a plastic garbage bag, then pour in a jug of clumping kitty. litter. $4.25 @ a Family Dollar store. Put the seat ring back on it, then the "insert" which serves as a bucket lid, & holds a roll of toilet paper. Lastly, pop on that grey lid, & you've got a nice little "hassock" which you can use as an extra seat, or toss a little. cloth over it, & use it as a mini table!

When its time to use it, after you "go", if liquid, let it sit a few minutes or til you stop again, & use a kitty litter scoop to scoop it out & into a small garbage bag. For solids, we just sift a bit more over it, scoop, then into the garbage bag. As with any kitty litter, we just tie up the bag securely, & into the trash can at any rest area, etc.

There's absolutely no sloshing around, no liquids & chemicals to deal with, no trying to find a public restroom to haul it in to, & since the kitty litter absorbs all liquid, so no odor.

Another biggy for me: $19.95... Brand new... I've never found any other type so cheap! LOL

I'll post a few more photos of the interior, & "putting it back together"!

Any questions, ask away!
