You've got your work cut out for you! Beautiful puppy! I'm a german shepherd girl myself, and there is nothing like a great companion. I'm on my 4th GSD and each one has carried me through a segment of my life. Taxi (the only male, found on the taxi ramp of the Staten Island ferry terminal) took me from my 20s-30s, She-she, adopted from a family in Nyack, NY in my 30s, Ayla (named after Ayla from Clan of the Cave Bear) I bought from a breeder in upstate NY when I was in my 40s, and now Rowan, (named after Rowan Mayfair, from an Anne Rice novel) will take me into my 60s. Each one has brought me so much joy, kept me active and always made me smile. The training part can be hard but rewarding when you have a well-behaved friend to keep you company in whatever adventure you are seeking. Best of luck to you and I love the name you have chosen... Zora... meaning dawn and light... Just lovely 😊
Just saw this comment. Found this account several months ago. I owned a GSD too. The funny thing is I live right by the SI ferry. Funny to see another fan so close.
I have a similar breed dog. Sally adopted me, she was feral stray puppy. I’m guessing she was a handful for her last owners. “Sally” pretty much ate most of my bedding & a few other things!!! LOL! Lucky for me it was all bedding that I had bought at Thrift Stores. Sally travels from Arkansas to California and back, with zero problem. I spend lots of time making sure we/she gets plenty of exercise, training, & walk/running EVERY day. I can’t complain, Sally gives back 10 fold. Your new pup won’t let you have any non exercise days, but I think you’ll enjoy it.
I used a dollar store dog dish and an old margarine tub when going across Canada with my dog. It served its purpose. A mattress cover might be advantageous until she is potty trained, but if you keep up your time outside, this may not be an issue. For groceries, many stores let you order online & then pick up if you don’t want to leave her (or if you can’t lock your truck with the AC running & sign saying so in the window while you run in for a few minutes). Life travelling with a pup is by FAR better, even with the initial training. Happy adventures!! 🥰🐶🥰
That Malinois is beautiful! Have you owned one before? From experience, they are a full time job. They will play for hours non-stop, and still want more. An absolutely incredible breed if you have the time and dedication to nurture their needs. I wish you both the best.
Hello, love your work, love your personality and love your doggie even more. I'm a teacher and you are the kind of person I would like my students to be like. You are clearly a very smart and compassionate person with excellent organizational skills and lots of discipline. Congrats on your parents they have done exceptionally well with you, keep it up!!!!
I watched a video of yours pop of you car camping in the colorado in -9 weather, went straight to your latest video and saw you now had a dog and went through video thumbnails looking for this video. Van companion for life!
Dollar Tree usually has a surprisingly great selection of pet supplies like dishes toys etc.. they sometimes have name brand treats etc too! Congratulations on your fur baby ❤❤ I recently subscribed to your channel so I’m catching up watching videos!
I'm sure you did your homework but for anyone else thinking of getting this breed - this is a working dog and THEY REQUIRE A LOT OF EXERCISE. I mean HOURS of physical exercise, not two 30 minute walks. Without exercise and stimulation, they become destructive and hard to handle. They also need a lot of socialization if you don't want them to be dangerous. None of this was said in the video so I'm just letting people know. As far as vanlife dogs go, this breed is a challenging choice.
Zora is so adorable and she is the perfect partner-in-crime for your adventure/journey. I'd suggest renaming your RUclips channel: Outlanding Adventures of Grace and Zora. Wishing you and Zora good health and safe travels.
If you download the apps to the stores you shop at, you can check to see if the stores around your location or which store has your item(s). That way you won’t have to go on a hunt.
Lo siento but now I have issues here (home) love ur videos I just can’t stop watching this beautiful blue eyes all the time 😂 is crazy 🎉 you have a Pet beautiful 🎉
She's gorgeous and I luv the Zora name :) I'm very happy for u both, but I hope u have patience lol (BTW have u seen Eva Zu Beck's channel) she just got a German Shepherd pup to live with in her truck. Good stuff. Are u familiar with your new puppy breed? Former trainer here.. Malinois are mostly used for military and K9 police work; Great breed, so very smart, high drive, lotta energy. So you'll need her a durable long lasting chew toy like gumabone (not just the cute fluffy animals which they destroy and fails to build her teeth and jaw muscles) but also to help her correctly channel her chew energy or else say bye bye to anything within reach which can also be very dangerous for her the moment you aren't looking for a minute. And she'll get restless even as an adult (she's a work dog) so you'll need to throw ball and 'run' her around to get out her pent up energy or they can get frustrated, depressed and destructive.. That's true of this breed with a house and yard, so in a truck, yeah MUST exercise her :P But if u can manage that she'll luv you loyal for life and keep u safe and be one of the best adventure dogs ever :) (don't forget must expose her/ socialize her while she's still young), with many ppl and other animals so she grows up socially confident and friendly to avert shy/fear snapping which u DON"T want with this breed when she's grown.. U may know all this. Sorry, just trying to help. Check out Eva's btw :)
I just stumbled across your page and I will get caught up... but I must say you are brave to get such a high energy puppy to train while on the road. lol. Side note... I have that same collar in black on my shepherd. He has been wearing it for about 2 years. Also, not sure what you ended up doing with a dog bowl, but the Ray Allen spill proof bowl is awesome while on the road. I had to order directly from their website.
How are things going with the doggo? That’s a large breed for such limited space so she may get some anxiety from being cooped up inside it so she’ll be chewing and tearing at everything lol. Best To be super sure they get to run daily and get out all the energy
She is tentatively named Zora, but I'm not 100% sold on it. If you have name suggestions for this little girl, please let me know!!
مشاكس(:
Zora Arkus Duntov. One of the the chief designers of the Corvette.
Lucky
SISTER!!
When you said that first, I thought what a sweet name!
"SISTER"
Queen
I have a 4Runner and a Malinois as well! Best combo ever! She goes with me everywhere. Perfect adventure dog!

She is precious! I am so glad you have her and, hopefully, she will grow up to be protection for you as well as a wonderful companion!!!

Best breed of dog, especially if you have the time and put in the effort to work them.
Nice video. Adorable puppy. Enjoy
She will be good for alerting you of things and protection, once full grown.
Zora is so adorable and she is the perfect partner-in-crime for your adventure/journey. I'd suggest renaming your RUclips channel: Outlanding Adventures of Grace and Zora. Wishing you and Zora good health and safe travels.
Congratulations!!! 🐶 💗
So cute.
Good choice for protection!

I wonder how the oxygen content within a closed up vehicle sustains throughout the night, then with an addition of the companion pet ?
Fairlife is a good milk. The only one I will drink now. I have ibs chronic diarrhea. So have to get what agrees with my stomach.
Aye congrats she's so cute!! You should check out Nikki Delventhal for tips, etc. if you haven't already as she travels all over with her pup!
