Layla is with my mom (she LOVES car rides) and my mom is doing running around.. Layla will stay ni her crate for the 2 min she runs into various places.. and she is no worse for wear.. she gets water and fresh air and she is fine  i dont' think she even knows we are gone! she naps as soon as the car starts moving. just please dotn' assume these dogs' parents dont' care... because we do it too... and we love her more than anythign.. |
I agree with everything you said but look at the common sense your using in having your baby ride with you vs the treatment of the yorkie in the hot car...big difference ...and i too will run into the bank and leave Nathan in the car in his bag if he is sleeping for a minute but I am very aware of where i park, weather etc...We are concerned yorkie owners ..she wasn't being responsible at all
