Trip to park cancelled due to bad dog sydrome!

I always walk the dogs to the truck AND attach them to seat belts immediately. I know they would love to stick their heads out the window, but I don't need vet bills from the junk flying around. And if there was an accident, I wouldn't have to worry about them running off.

It only takes a second to hook them up.

Sorry to hear the trip was cut short because of nawtee doggies, but I have to say I was laughing under my breath because I've had that same experience (well not exactly the same but close enough ) and it's not fun. Now I never take all 3 unless hubby or someone else is along. Three big dogs are quite a lot to handle.
Hope everyone isn't in too much trouble

I find that Sadie is more excited when the weather first gets nice because walks and outings are less frequent in the winter.

Once trips to the park are more frequent she will not take off when off leash or pull when on leash, but for the first real park trip she looks insane walking in every direction with tongue hanging out as though this is the first and last time I will allow her out.

Not to say it's ok for the dogs to be bad, but it is understandable. It's been the same weather here - freezing for so long and now a day of 70 degrees - I am so ready for spring.
