When you have a dog that's the size of a small horse, not just any vehicle will do. Once we made the decision to have Great Danes (Henley is our second) that meant we made other decisions too. Some of them are silly, like accepting leans and slobbers, or never being able to just come home without a celebration. But others made a bigger impact. We don't kennel dogs. We don't leave them with friends. They are family and we treat them that way.So with Henley, and the Kia Sportage we have had, our vacations were limited by the question "who is staying with Henley?"
Not any more.
Now we can flip up the seats, throw in his dog bed and get the big boy in and down. The floors are even rubber so we can blow them out and not worry about slobbers. Just wipe them down. Very unique and very functional. We scored a lifetime warranty good all over the nation too, so I'm picking it up and expecting to still have it 15 years from now.
So expect to see the Wilson's on the move more often and packing Henley to boot!
* Update * Local Honda Dealer who had quoted us a price and interest rate changed that when we got 1.5 hours into picking up the vehicle. So thanks but no thanks, Gary Smith Honda. Next???
Way to go on the dogmobile! And it gets better gas mileage than the average SUV, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI've always been able to fit two mid-size dogs in my 3-door coupe (in fact, that's why I bought that particular car; it had a dog door!) We're down to one now, but he totally knows the drill. And yes, we're taking him with us to a B&B a few weeks from now.
