[IluvLucy]

Lucy has gotten carsick from the day I brought her home. She is now 3 years old and it STILL happens occasionally, but here are a couple of things that have helped her:

1. Don't let her eat or drink 1 hour before getting in the car
2. I give her Rescue Remedy 30 minutes before getting in the car
3. She rides in a carseat with a 6 inch thick piece of foam underneath it so
that she can see out the window comfortably
4. I talk to her CONSTANTLY while we're riding

She does better now, and doesn't throw up every time we ride, but she still drools. I put a pee pee pad in the carseat so that if she DOES get sick, I can pull over and clean it up quickly. I always carry several pee pee pads when we ride.

I started out with short rides and the longest we've ridden is 45 miles without an incident.
