Harry’s initial reluctance to travelling the car seems a long time ago, although in reality it’s only six weeks or so since his squawking deafened us on a regular basis, and he looked like this………..
He now travels happily in the boot of the car and loves to take in the view from all three windows, which means that our supermarket shopping can get sat on or even trampled on. Up until now we’ve put the shopping on the back-seat, but the bags just never seem to stay upright, and we’re forever scrabbling around under the seats to locate stuff.
Now that Harry’s bigger he fits nicely into a special car-seat harness, which means he can travel safely ‘up front’ with the humans, and we get to reclaim the boot for our own purposes when we need it. We had a practice run over the weekend to see how Harry would adapt, but we needn’t have worried. He took to it like a pro and sat there, slap in in the middle of the back-seat, watching out the front windscreen.
No doubt it’ll only be a matter of time before he starts barking out orders and becomes a fully fledged back-seat driver.
