Yours too.

We're not entirely sure what she is as her mom was a rescue found pregnant. Vet figures she's Husky/Lab/Shep and, yes, she has one eye that is ice blue and one that is half blue/half brown.

Rescue mutts make the best dogs. Ours has Husky in her for sure (should see her in the snow), but other than that, who knows...... or cares.

This probably does not apply the same to cats as it does to dogs, although my wife would let the cat roam in her car when on long trips.

Personally though, I would NEVER let a dog in my car and the cat can travel ONLY in the bag, and that is under the limited cirumstance that I MUST pick up/drop off at the vet.

(You may be able to tell I am not really a pet person...love my car though!)

Do drunk/high friends count?

If yes they ride w/ me lol.

They seem to act similar to wild animals but once in a while they will act well trained though, but not always

^ HAHA lucky guy

I'm the DD by default too... The drunk @ss's are the worse regardless of gender thats why they fall under animal hahah. Pot heads on the other hand are easy to deal w/ just bump the music and hit up the nearest drive thru LOL

Back on topic.. Pets are ok to ride w/ but not on the seats and better be w/ the real owner!

Only time I ever let a dog in my car was when a friend and I were going up to Georgia to visit other friends. We were driving down this backwards rocky road, and we saw a small puppy on the side. I of course didn't want to touch it, but the girl with me was getting all teary saying we couldn't just leave it. Anyway, we picked the dog up and I told her to hold on to it the entire way and not to let it touch any of the interior. The dang thing was covered in HUGE ticks.

Love our two rescue Springers. One is blind and deaf and you just can't help but be compassionate toward her.

My fur babies get to ride in my RX but only to the vets and in their carrier for safety reasons. Cats just aren't into cruising.
