Labrador Retriever and Husky mix are big time shedder and chewer

Remember to get your dog a car seat harness for the road trip.  Yep right.  Lab/Husky mix is a very smart breed.  They like to stick their head out and enjoy the breeze.  Oh wait, the harness actually prevents them to go out too far.  Then what would they do?  

The dogs will try to break free.  They can't use their paws and they don't know the mechanism of the seat belts.   But they know the harness is not a good thing they want to attach to.  Goldie started to chew the seat belt quietly.  She decided to chew the harness and the seat belt at the same time.   She must enjoy it.   When I was driving, she was licking the harness and seat belt like cow hide.  Next time I know, she was chewing them.   My Tucson is 2013 model and this year is 2013.  If you were me, you would probably scream your head off.   So I asked my friend to unbuckle her, closed the windows and pulled over at the rest area.  My heart was broken.  I can see my seat belt is still ok but the harness is in bad shape. 

What's missing in the picture?   A frustrated dog, a frustrated car owner and a friend found this situation is hilarious.  Geeze....   6 hours road trip is not good for the dog.  Maybe tranquilizer is needed next time.  Oh wait.  there is no next road trip for her. She will stay in dog hotel.

One more thing I noticed, Goldie coat color changed.  She shedded all her white coat and the reddish brown coat is coming out for the summer. Well, where does her hair go?   EVERYTHING.  I picked my nose, her hair was there too.  No kidding.  I bought so much tool.  The ridiculous purchase was Furminator.  Yes it works, but not working well when your dog is so hairy.  And also it's expensive.  I ended use a tool I bought from Target.  I looks like a metal blade with teeth. You apply minimal pressure and the dog hair just come over like dandelion seed.   Goldie, after the road trip, we come to the conclusion that you are a handful dog but we still love you.
