Every time Jan reads information like this she wants to run out and buy all three of us woofies something to protect us -- and her -- in the car in case of emergency. She's added this to her wish list for us.
We'd like to thank Dennis the Vizsla for passing on a couple of awards to us.
The Supportive Blogger
And the Sweet Blog Award
Percy is falling asleep on the keyboard so we'll have to pass them on in another post.
Have a purring and tail wagging day.
I'll admit I have driven with a dog on my lap. Stupid, I know.

Congratulations on your awards!
ReplyDeletenever thought of this, but I don't have a dog either. My cats usually sit behind and look out of the window which distracts other car drivers, lol !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your well deserved awards.
ReplyDeleteWe used to drive under the influence of Bailey - who can be a complete pest in the car.
We now had Dad's car Bailey proofed so are much safer.

Yes everyone, please keep our woofie friends safe!
ReplyDeleteWe don't get to ride loose in the car anymore. Our daddy always talked our mewmmie into it but she never was happy about it. She keeps us in our carriers, seat belted in. She has even has heard like with babies, that pets should have their carriers in the back seat in case the airbag goes off as it could injure them, especially in a soft sided carrier.
ReplyDeleteMom's got a seatbelt for me, that I wear sometimes...other times, just connected somewhere, so I can't roam. Great post, as it is quite dangerous and distracting! I wish I could sit in mom's lap...but that doesn't happen :)
ReplyDeleteHugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,

We would all love to ride on Mom's lap AND stick out heads out the window. But that is just not safe. Mom gets really upset when she sees peeps letting that happen. Not safe for the dog or the human.

Fenris sits in the backseat, but he sometimes puts his nose up front to get Mommy's attention.
ReplyDeleteAll the Taylor CatSSSSS have PTU's and they hate them! :(
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your well-deserved awards!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the article...we have shared it with all of our friends with doggies!
Congratulations on the awards.. Mum wont let me in the car without being in the dreaded basket. GJ x
ReplyDeleteNow you know why I get the backseat all the time!
ReplyDeleteKisses and hugs

Not a chance - they always stay in the back...
ReplyDeleteOh - that's a pet peeve of mine - people who let their dogs bounce all arond the car, unrestrained or even some sitting in the driver's lap - or hanging out windows...just want to bash their heads together!!! :-(
