Poor Mackie. He can come live with me. My dogs (2
10 month old Shi Tzu puppies, Annabelle & Bailey) and Molli(my 18 yr. old) & Spueaks(cat) live with me,go with me, we all keep each other company. I don’t expect all people to love them like I do but they are my “children” and I love being with them.Why do people have dogs and/or cats if they don’t want to be with them? I bring mine to work quite often. Guess I’m lucky. People miss out on alot when they don’t consider their animals family. Ilove getting your emails. I may soon be able to afford your books. Thank You for sharing.

Like Mother…Like Daughter ! You really can’t be that surprised !! If you haven’t done it over the past 10 years… you’re not going to change either of these womens’ “hearts” … now. Like I said before… you either have a compassionate and loving heart..or you don’t ! How did a Vet end up in such a family ? Too Bad !
Blessings,

Having been a dog groomer for over 42 years I can make a couple of reccomendations. First of all WHY does your mother-in-law not want Mackie in the car? Because the dog’s is dirty? Doesn’t smell good? Sheds? If the dog were groomed at reasonable intervals at a reputable grooming shop and smelled and looked clean and beautiful I doubt there would be an objection. Why not take the dog in and have her spiffed up and then show her to your mother-in-law? She may not be able to refuse such a clean smelling dog. For myself, I would never put a car or any material object above the happiness of my animals. That’s why my car is covered in blankets and I have no room to sleep on my bed.

My husband surprised me with a new car (small SUV) as our large SUV has almost 200k miles, holds 45 gallons and only gets about 9 miles per gallon. The final “decision maker” on the new car (small suv) is that the rear seats fold down so that the dogs can have the entire back area. I went to Home Depot and purchased a piece of carpet and velcroed it to the back area to help protect it from sand/mud (although they would still be allowed in even if I didn’t have this). I have two dogs (shepherd mix and a lab mix) and I will take my dogs everywhere that is possible. These dogs are more than pets to me and I would not let anyone else tell me that I couldn’t take them. I feel very strongly on this issue, as do lots of others here. Take care & good luck to Mackie! He deserves to be with his family!!!!

Hello
As a big German shepherd with just as big a son if not bigger, my Mammy has a lovely dog trailer which we travel in, we go for long walks in the forest and lots of trips and you know something we would even settle for a drive in the trailer without getting out its so comfy and no problems with staying quiet or anything we can move around freely and we can see out as the door has a nice griddy part where we can see through. We love our trailer and would never want to travel in the car so my suggestion is for this man to get a nice little trailer for Mackie and all will be happy and he will have this trailer for any more doggy friends he may meet in the future.
Love Mandy & Eccle.
