I wrote this piece five years ago, and I have to be honest, I'm not sure I'd empathize with that woman today. <BR/><BR/>It's wonderful how much care you take when traveling with pets. I once spotted a cat in a parked car at a stop along the highway. Perhaps the driver was alone, I don't know, but it was still wrong. Of course, I slipped one of my notes under the wiper.Lynn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033551915991015255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612650491939764911.post-76671493711656420242008-05-20T19:55:00.000-04:002008-05-20T19:55:00.000-04:00Good for you.

She's setting a bad example for her children. <BR/><BR/>A friend deposited his dog on me unexpectedly one summer as I was on my way to Maine. I made sure that the place I stayed accepted dogs. WE either had picnics or drive-through all the way up, and when I had to use the restroom, I paid the guy in the little booth at the gas station $10 to watch the dog while I was in the restroom.<BR/><BR/>Even though it was relatively cool, I was still uncomfortable about leaving the dog unattended.<BR/><BR/>When I move, and move the cats to the new location, someone's driving with me so that the cats will never be alone in the car, and we humans take turns at the rest stops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612650491939764911.post-1257736940513207732008-05-20T10:29:00.000-04:002008-05-20T10:29:00.000-04:00Having the non-emergency number handy is a good id...Having the non-emergency number handy is a good idea. I think I'll add that to my list of things to do (a list that wouldn't be so long if I actually did some of the stuff on it).

And I've never yet run into the driver of a car with a dog left in it, but I can't imagine I'd have the self-control to be polite about it. I have the local police non-emergency number in my cell phone precisely for this reason.Shannon Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749514697724763668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612650491939764911.post-92168416255308579532008-05-20T06:02:00.000-04:002008-05-20T06:02:00.000-04:00Yay to Raggs for running again (glutton for punish...Yay to Raggs for running again (glutton for punishment), and boo to the owner of the Lexus.Lynn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033551915991015255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612650491939764911.post-57424794452889990212008-05-20T06:00:00.000-04:002008-05-20T06:00:00.000-04:00Jan, were we separated at birth?
