I got my new Rav 4 2020 Suv yesterday, and I resolved to keep it clean and new car smelling for a couple of weeks. That meant keeping Zinnia out of it. My friend Sue and Maria both laughed at me.
“She’ll be in the car the next day,” both of them said. They were right. As I got ready to go out this morning, Zinnia ran to the door and when I told her to stay, she just looked incredulous and then deflated, she lay down on the floor and put her head between her paws.
So Maria prepared a special blanket, we put it in the car and Zinnia joined me. For half of the ride, she put her head on my shoulder, which she can reach now.
She likes the new car find, and I’m glad to get it over with. When you live with three dogs, the car isn’t going to be very clean for too long. But Zinnia is, and I can’t say I feel bad about it.
AWESOME NEWS! You Go, Zinnia Girl! Thank you Jon for letting her get in the new car she helped buy! It’s beautiful – but even more beautiful with Zinnia in it!
Just saw a Rav 4 on the freeway. Nice car.
You are a good man, Jon.
Love it! Just a word of advice take it or leave it. I bought a car seat cover for the back seat for my dog as we drove together 180 miles back and forth to babysit the grands during the week. It has the added advantage of a sling that kept her safe from flying into the floor if I ever had to stop suddenly and the interstate travel is quite treacherous right now. I had to slam on the brakes a few times. It also made the car easier to clean! I had to put my dear sweet “Indie” to sleep a month ago and I sure miss her companionship especially on those car rides!
Yes, we’ve ordered one, Zinnia has white fur. it’s a black car…:)
