Road trip to Niagara Falls

"Don't forget to buy a bench seat cover for your car.  And then the seat belt for you dog"

After a month. Goldie finally got her booster shot. Her rabies shot was done by the shelter. Nevertheless, a lot things been done by the shelter, there were still a lot of checkups required.   Her blood test for heart worm came negative.  Now she is on the Advantage.  A medication keeps fleas and ticks away.

Back to the story, it's not surprising a lot of people from Toronto were leaving town for a vacation.   Niagara Falls seems to be the easy choice.  So Karim and I  drove out with Goldie.   We did not know what to expect and apparently it was a mistake.

Dog should be buckled down to the back seat.   With a 70 lbs dog sits at the back seat, you don't know what to expect.   Goldie is a young girl, she is curious.  My new 2013 Tuscon seems to be a perfect fit for her.  But she moves around.  She wants to stick her head out for the car, lean against the door, put her two front paws and lift herself up.  So she can stand.  Hell No..

After almost two hours on the road, she became very impatience.  She wanted to get out. She started to climb up to the front.  I was driving at that time. She knew I am occupied.  So it opened up a free way for her to be mischievous.  There is no way Karim can control her.  He is just a play mate to her.  I am the alpha.   We managed to pull over and gave her a toilet break.    The round trip experience was painful.

The first thing we do after we drove home.   We went to pet store and looked for dog car seat harness.    No way i am going to drive her around without it.

If possible, give her a buzz cut would be nice.  So I won't breathe in her hair in the car anymore.
