Art & Inspiration Let’s see your pet out for a ride in your car.

My Pup was head full out too, got wacked by a big bug of some sort. I saw it coming but didn't want to cross the yellow lines. Beaned him pretty square on the nose. Big sneeze or two and back at it, I got him some Doggles.

 

No doubt they're smarter than us.... look at all the things they train us to do for them!

Daughters dog loves rides my cat not so much.

 

This is Emerald “Emmy” named after the emerald green roof of my wife’s ‘54 Olds. Was taken on the Rapid Shifters reliability run.

 

LOL...

Some of these four-legged hot rodders kinda look like some two-legged ones we know.

 

Here's our shaved down Shaggy DA - Wally. This is his, 'You do realize I don't fit in here', look!

 

Mmmm... get me some of that tasty "long pig".

 

Teddy Bear, our little Maltese, has always been with us wherever we went. We have never been without him in 14 years and he goes everywhere we go. He has been a big part of our life and gives us joy every day.

Here he is back in 2009 on our trip across South Dakota to the Lake Area Roadsters Reliability Run in the Black Hills. It was his first long distance roadster trip and we did over a thousand miles that weekend.


And again in 2010 by Mount Rushmore on the Lake Area Roadsters Reliability Run.

In 2016 at Glacier National Park on the "Road To The Sun" after the 2016 Northwest Deuce Days.

In 2019 in Joyce, Washington on Coy Thomas' "Rust Is Gold Tour", prior to Northwest Deuce Days

In 2017, on old Route 66 between Williams and Flagstaff, Arizona.

Ok, I have watched this for a while. Pictures of your pet posing with your car-very cool. Pictures of your pet riding unrestrained while your vehicle is in motion are dumb-ass stupid. As a veterinarian, I've seen some very gruesome results of s a sudden stop and an un-restrained pet. Keep in mind that the impact of your 60 pound dog at 40 miles an hour generates almost 25,000 pounds of impact force. To say nothing of the fact that an un-restrained pet is a distraction and that the authorities will find you at fault (if they can find you at all) every single time.

Treat your pet as they deserve-buckle up.

 

Max wasn't riding with me, but was 'helping' set the timing. Ha ha

 

How do you recommend buckling up a dog? Mine is 65 pounds.

Thanks for asking. Of course, anything you use will need to include positive reinforcement and training. There are lots of options here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pet+seat+belts&crid=1X3K2AC70CRR9&sprefix=petv+sea,aps,106&ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_5_7. If none of those look good, let me know-PM is ok unless we want to spread general knowledge, and I'll ask on an expert board.

In my State all dogs must be restrained by a seat harness, you can buy special attachments,
many dogs are driving around in the pickup truck bed of tradesmen and they must
be secured so as not to jump out at the next traffic light and start fights
which happens often ,my daughter has a harness to keep dog safe in passenger's seat,
dogs soon learn

 

He could only be happier if he were driving.

 

Never even heard of a dog seat belt. Funny

 

Not funny if you are distracted and have to stop suddenly and your dog turns into a flying missile-hitting the windshield or flying out the window. This is just crash test dummies. I don't think anyone would appreciate pictures of real accidents.

 

Ah well, everybody’s heard about the bird…..

 

Word

 

We were going to go for a ride but, after getting my guy up on the seat, at 90+ lbs, we abandoned that caper and jumped into the OT truck. Talking with a pack of carpenters the next day, a pack is more than 2 carpenters, we came up with maybe splitting the bench and making it so the passenger side can come out. I know that's a lot of work but, my shadow goes everywhere with me. Figured he is not riding with me in the '65 until I can figure this out. He hangs over the seat in every configuration.

 

My pet… My ride… My horrible interior…8 years since I chopped it and I still don’t have a head liner. Lol
