You all know I love my dogs, I see nothing wrong with taking with and leaving in the car if it truly is a few minutes, and the sun is hidden and the temp is reasonable and it won't climb in the car/truck. They enjoy the ride and don't seem to mind. But here in Houston those conditions happen so infrequently for me it is only like once every few years all the conditions are correct.Any other time, they can stay home.

This is me.
My old girl loves the tahoe. Its like her dog house on wheels. When I'm working around the house and in the garage I'll back the tahoe up in the drive and open the back hatch. She jumps in and watches me work. A little smile on her face, tail at a constant slow wag. Sigh. It makes me happy to see her so content. 4951
