I never have let any of my dogs ride around with their head's sticking out of the window if my speeds were above more than about 10-15 mph. When I start to accelerate, the back windows go the rest of the way up. I've had too much shit bounce off my windshield, mirrors or the arm I've got hanging out of my window to risk blinding my dog.
And no, I've never let a dog ride in my lap either, not even Legal Lucy. My dogs either rode on the passenger's side in an old style pickup, or in the back seat of a crew cab or passenger car.
When we go on trips (camping mostly), the dogs are in the back seat in crates. They just aren't used to riding in cars, get nervous, bounce around all over and insist on being in our laps. Not safe, not fun. That said, if that's the most important thing the Florida Senate is working on, maybe they should call it a day, go home, and stop creating more problems for the Florida taxpayers.
ReplyDeletethey backed off on the dog head window thing, now just recommending "doggles", no joke, where would we be without our brilliant gov
ReplyDeleteJust more intrusive legislation from the nanny state.
ReplyDeleteBingo!
DeleteI use these when the dog is in the back of the truck. And no heads out the window, anymore than I'd let a child do it:

Understand some of the concerns but for me, this is another example of the nanny state running amuck.
ReplyDeleteI don't have that issue. My 90 lb rescue will not get in any vehicle, nor allow a leash. But he will love everyone to distraction.
ReplyDeleteSolution: Ditch the dog and get a pet Orangutan. They aren't banned by the law. Then when a cop stops you tell him you're in a mixed marriage and your taking your kid to the zoo. He'll understand..
ReplyDeleteWhy not just ban everything? And they can make list's of what you are allowed to do. They think they are little god's.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with society is that they are turning into a sack of pu$$ys.
ReplyDeleteHelmets, knee pads etc.
Let dogs be dogs.
The problem, of course, is due to all those yankee asswipes who have moved from their precious conclaves up North and come down here to bring their leftist collectivist bullshit to us.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the same asswipes that will sue you because their precious Muffie got an eye put out because Muffie was hanging its head out the window and got whanged by a rock tossed up off a limerock road, or got eaten by an alligator or a python or a Tegu lizard.
Rather the State just ban democrat yankees from moving down here unless they can pass a purity test to prove they've changed, and hold their feet to the fire about it.
Last fall I was driving into the neighborhood-at about 7 mph-and saw a Goldendoodle sticking its head out of the sunroof, thoroughly enjoying the view and gentle, warm air bathing his face. Have no idea how big the dog was or how it was able to get so much of its body sticking through the roof. As I always say: It must be nice to be a dog!
ReplyDeleteWhat were they going to do, fine the dog for sticking it's head out the window?
