I am so glad everyone is safe . . I just can imagine a BRT flying forward toward the back of your seat. . . It is a fact, Most accidents happen close to home. Everyone please be safe and restrain your pup.

I have noticed that people who leave their dogs in the car while they go inside a store never have any type of restraint for their pets.

Glad you all are ok!!! I know exactly what you mean, our 3 were also confined in seats when we got in an accident this past December. Makes you glad you took the time to secure everyone!

My two are always strapped in. I worry if I were to ever drive without them strapped in, we'd get in an accident. It's just not worth the risk to me!

Strapped in, restrained in a car seat or carrier, etc.....any means to keep these babies from becoming a projectile inside your car if you are involved in an accident, or crushed by an air bag. Also, even if you are sitting still and you are hit or bumped, all it takes is a broken window or a crumpled door that a terrified yorkie can jump out of your car and into traffic.....I had a little lady years ago that felt she could hold her babies and they would be safe, even in a wreck....but when she was hit, the door flew open, both her precious babies (babies that I had loved and planned for, and delivered and lost many hours of sleep over and adored and spoiled rotten, and CRATE TRAINED them to ride in the car!!!!) bolted from that car, directly into traffic, and were immediately RAN OVER right in front of the owner.......years later, she came back and tried to get another baby from me, but she had to return the puppy....she NEVER got the sight of her precious baby girls getting killed right in front of her, out of her mind......Please, restrain your precious pups so this wont happen to you! Gail, thankfully, you know how important this is.....and your precious cargo will live for another day!

Thanks for the reminder, and I'm so glad your pups are safe.

Gail, I am so glad that you and the pups were not harmed. What a day you had.

Great reminder to keep the doggies restrained in the car.

Any pup with you is always in the best of care. I hope you are feeling better after such a stressful ordeal.

Great reminder....I recently bought a new snoozer type bed and am so glad I did. These yorkies are so little and could be thrown around so very easily upon impact. So glad you were all okay.
