When I first started bringing gracie in the car i brought her in her kennel because my dad said so
!! she would cry a little but i would face her kennel towards me and talk to her....now that she is a little bigger i just bring a blanket and make a bed in the passenger seat and bring some of her toys...mostly those don't keep her busy and she ends up climbing into my lap and falling asleep....Last weekend I put her in her purse....with a big blanket in it so she could see out the window and she really loves that....but really gracie has just gotten used to riding in the car (i drive 2 hours home every other weekend) she has gotten better every time!!! Good luck, keep me posted on the wild thing
