CAR SAFETY- DO YOU or DO YOU NOT??
Posted on January 15, 2010 at 3:36pm 17 Comments 0 Favorites
I noticed in this weeks slide show that many doodles do not appear to be harnessed / restrained in the car. I'm guilty of this too and I have a restraint that I often do not use. Wondering if anyone experienced any misfortunes by not having their doodle restrained? Maybe this would be a good eye opener.
