Be A Responsible Pet Parent!
I’m always unhappy to ride on the back seat… but there is a reason for that, right?
It drives Mom crazy around here – we see so many people driving around with dogs on the laps – on the drivers side – it is so dangerous.
All are excellent examples of being a responsible pet parent, Sugar!
The world needs more responsible pet owners and these are all great tips. They boys ride in a crate in the back of our SUV. They are horrible back seat drivers always wanting to climb over the front seat and take the wheel! BOL!
Happy Monday Sugar and Mom
Hugs madi your bffff
Kilo the Pug does not go in the car that often – he likes to look forward but is always buckled into his harness and the seatbelt on the backseat. I am considering a SleepyPod carrier for longer trips this summer.
