Steve you are starting to worry me I read the normog bit first and thought easy its a whippet it can keep up running along behind then read yours ( what did you put ) Get your crystal ball out .
Its easy leave the fiancee in the house , the dog cant say, slow down you are going to fast , you took that corner to fast , you are driving like an idiot ,and all the other put off,s and you dont have to ask him when you stop at the pub .
I used to take my Staffie in the late 1980s for a ride he would sit like a 4 legged Stirling Moss , but the wind got up his nose and he kept sneezing on the windscreen and dash . But he loved it and I loved him he would lie in-front of the mog and not move so I could not go without him .
PS While you are at it knowing what I think and do, have a look and find out when that Cameron Diaz is giving me a visit I need a hand in the garage with the grease .
"The first question is where does the whippet go?" runs along behind. JTL will know.
Seriously though. I know a family whose giant poodle sleeps in the passengers footwell with ease.
