| Buckle them UP!!!! I can't emphasize this enough....Hubby and I were on our way to visit family in Michigan and were involved in an accident. We ALL were buckled in (Yes, Shelby Seymour and Seeger, too)... when someone in on-coming traffic made a left turn in front of us. Of course, my Rav4 took the brunt of the impact but we are safe!!!!! We hadn't gotten too far from home, so a good friend pick us up (with all our packages and luggage) and brought us home. I can't imagine what the results could have been if we didn't buckle up!!! TAKE NOTE ALL YOU TRAVELERS!!!!! Keep those babies safe!!!

| Oh, I am so very sorry about your accident. Your vehicle is so beautiful and have had fun riding in it to dog shows. At least that was the only thing hurt, thank heavens. So glad you had the pups and humans buckled up. And that everyone is okay! I remember many years ago talking to you at a dog meet-up about keeping dogs safe by buying something like a lookout seat. You were the one that encouraged me to do this. And we did. Hugs to you my friend and please give your three and your DH a gentle hug from us too. |

| Oh my goodness! Glad you're all ok. I am confessing something bad. I haven't been buckling mine. I really don't want to put them in a carrier/cage because Anna is terrified of being put in a cage. So, what would work best for 2 dogs? One is 5 lbs and one is 6.

| Oh Wow! Glad it all ended well except for the car! I am fanatical about Cali being buckled in and you experienced my worst fear. Glad all are well - did you make it to your destination? Your safety consciousness really saved the day. I have a police officer friend who tells of dogs and children who are not bickered in becoming "missiles" in the car during an accident. Be safe and have a Merry Christmas!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am so glad no one was hurt, but what a scary experience. My 3 are always in a crate and the crate buckled in the seat. But a great reminder to everyone. I hope you can still have a good holiday.

| Thanks. They only wear harnesses. We have another dog with ct and would never consider putting a collar on them. I have been looking this afternoon on Amazon. I am trying to decide if two will fit in one or if I need to order two separate ones. I guess I am going to order one and see if it will work when it gets here. Thanks for your warning. I took it to heart.

| How scary! Glad to hear you are all safe What a great reminder to always keep our pups buckled up for their safety. I've seen a few FB posts this month about people's dog getting loose during/after a car accident. There was a rollover accident at the freeway exit nearest my house, and a little dog got loose. Thankfully he was wearing a collar with his owners info on it, was found, and made it home safely after 5 days. All I kept thinking as I was sharing the post, was why wasn't he strapped in??? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Wow I am so glad all of you are safe. Thanks for posting that reminder. I have one of the snoozer seats. Even if I just go to the vet who is 5 mins away I always put him in his seat with his BB on. Hugs to you and your family
