[nagdu] Traveling in Pickups Was Re: Guide Horse, was: Have to Ask

Tue May 26 23:16:50 UTC 2009

Ummm...The only vehicle my family has is a pick up.  The dogs ride in it all 
the time.  They ride in the front, on the floor, by my feet.  If both dogs 
are going, one rides in the front with me and the other rides in the back 
seat. It's a crew cab.
