Day Eight – A Car Ride1

Another great day for Bailey.  Both my husband and I had to work today at the same time so I took Bailey to work with me.  My daughter joined us at the office so she could “dog sit”.  I was worried about the car ride.  Bailey is a total window dog – loves to have his head out the window or to be standing on the middle console from the back seat.  I was not sure how this was going to go.  I put him in the front seat with a harness that I used to use to walk him so I could hold on.  He thought he could look out the window on his lone hind leg.  He found out quickly that was not going to work.  He then took to standing and leaning on the seat allowing his nose and face to get some wind.  He had a few slips but nothing seemed to discourage him.

When we got to the office he went running up the handicapped ramp – I couldn’t help but get a little chuckle out of that.  Later when he went out for a little walk he took the curb up and down like an old pro.  Stressed me out but he just went with the flow.

On the ride home he eventually came and sat on my lap where he was a little higher and could get a little more wind.  I am thinking about getting him a car seat but I am going to give it a little more time for us to adjust.  Does anyone use one?
