I personally don't take the dogs in the car unless it is for a purpose ... a trip to the vet or a run in the desert. I just don't really care for riding in vehicles with dogs. I suppose if I took them more often, they would be calmer, but as it is, it is a BIG production for them and they are very hyper.

My husband, however, takes Lucky with him whenever he can ... to the post office, the store, to stop in at work. Hey, it's his truck ... he wants it full of dog hair, HE can clean it.
