I just have to tell you about my mini-schnauzer, first dog I've ever had who has to be groomed regularly. Never took a dog in the car much before. She always insists on sitting in the front passenger seat. Once I casually looked over and she had put her paw on the electric window button and the window had gone down and she was hanging out the window, not even realizing what was going on! Thank GOD I always use a doggie restraint attached to the seat belt thingy. Scared the peewoddin outta me! Ever since then, I lock the Child Windows Lock on the driver's door.

She always tries to escape from her little doggie run and goes on "walkies" all by herself. Thank goodness we have good neighbors. We live on a mountain and by the time she goes down and crosses the street () she's ready to be rescued, especially when it's 112 degrees. We have our phone number on her collar. She surely can be a handful when she wants to be.

By the way, we have an old Mercury Grand Marquis with relatively few miles on it. Bought it cuz the old fellow who owned it never drove it. Well, we learned VERY QUICKLY that you cannot leave a car sitting in Arizona without driving it. We had numerous repairs that were simply due to heat wear. And one of them just happened to be the EMERGENCY FLASHERS. One evening, my husband pulled up to the curb and left the car running to run in to a restaurant to pick up something we had left there and I punched the flasher button and the entire flasher circuit blew out! Only cost us $240 to replace it on the steering column. Geez.......
