Dog Car

I was so excited when we got our Honda CRV. It would be nice to have a utility vehicle for hauling things back and forth from the store and also for vacations.

Little did I know that Rusty would have other plans.

He also loved it. So much so, that he would just want to hang out in the car (in the garage) and just sleep. I guess it was more comfortable than the tile floor.

Being a retriever, he always had to carry something with him as he went in the car. It didn't matter what it was. If you were missing a shoe or any other possession, that is the first place you would want to look. His favorite items were his wide variety of stuffed animals or one of his chewy toys.

Eventually, the car took on his odor (and dog hair). Every now and then, we would take it to the car wash and have it detoxed, but it became an uphill battle. Especially, after we added Bob. I'm not sure which dog sheds the most.

The dog's get an escort via the CRV to the places that I walk them (which are normally wide open fields). That is because I can't walk them through the neighborhood since they make a contest out of who can 'mark' the most objects. Some people have an issue with their newspaper receiving an early morning 'squirt'.
