Dog lovers whose dogs love a ride-in-car: Great bumper-sticker idea!
I have a dog-dedicated car (a 1999 Subaru Outback wagon). Sirius owns the passenger seat. Nick-Nick loves his kennel cage in the back of the wagon. People see the regal Sirius sitting ram-rod straight in the front passenger seat and give me a thumbs up (I know he should be retrained, but tell him that!). My brother gave me a "Dog Is My Co-Pilot" bumper-sticker last year, which I display.

Here is my idea for a bumper-sticker for our dogs with their own car (ripped off of the Show-Dog theme): Show-fered Dogs On-board (as in chauffeured). Cafe Press?


Sweet Sirius


Nick-Nick

1. Very good! My old pal Flash LaRue would have approved.
I got her kids' sized swim goggles so we wouldn't worry about particles hitting her eyes as she insisted on sitting behind the driver, with her head between driver and window. Loved the wind!

Shaggier that your dogs, she also liked that the goggles kept the hair outta her eyes. One day, I put hair mousse on her and we went crusin. When she got outta the car, she looked like she was still goin fast.

Show-fered Dogs On-board
would be great! We are in the market for a taller car next time as Havocdad wants an English Bull Mastiff for the 90 Pound Hound to train.

2. Love it!
I would love to find some way to safely transport my dogs in the back of my pick up because I simply refuse to let them just ride back there so they usually go in my husbands vehicle. They are certainly Show-fered in style.

I am thinking of naming my farm the Flying Labrador Farm after our Labs. You know, a brand with a straight line coming from each side of a V?

I love your idea.

3. Ohh, my... my little girlie loves to do that (ride shotgun)
but don't you worry about the airbag deploying? I finally had to break down and train her to ride in the back seat. It was really hard for a while, but now she sticks her head over the console for a hug now and then and sits very attentively behind me.

4. Baxter rides shotgun. I make him wear the shoulder belt (he does)
but his car (yes it's his car) has no passenger side airbag. And we only do it on slow in town drives -- no freeways. He crawls on the back seat floor when we get on the freeway.

Also if things get difficult, he knows the "back seat" command.

5. DemoTex -- how is Sirius doing these days? You have got some
great looking dogs, I must say. Sirius looks like such a gentle old soul...
