toby doesnt mind the car either, mostly because he doesnt have a choice, since i got him hes been carted EVERYWHERE (grandmas twice a week, we even take him to the movies with us
)....... i did notice that he sorta did the panting thing once or twice, but i opened the window a tad to let him get some 'fresh' air and he stopped doing it........ i used to let him just chill in teh passanger seat, but since hes a puppy he wants to explore EVERYWHERE, and i cant drive and fight him at the same time...... so now he rides in his carrier if i am driving alone with him........
