I've told my story about the accident I had when my toy poodle was about 8-10 weeks old. I touched a gravel road that was connected to the paved road I was on, overcorrected and flipped my little car at least 4 times. Thank God neither one of us was hurt but the accident was caused by Dax running around on my lap and me trying to get him to sit in the passenger seat. Since then, I was always leary about riding with him in the car. When we got Tatum (many, many years later), the first thing I did was buy a Lookout car seat. This one sits on the console of my Tahoe, belted down with a thing that clips to her harness to keep her in. She's known no different and loves to ride in it. I am a true believer in car seats for the dogs! Sometimes when people see it, they think it's a frivolous thing but WE all know it's not!
So glad you came out of that accident with your life and that your precious babe was not with you. Thanks for spreading the word.
