Dog Jealousy?

by Tanner

All right. I get the whole 'cute little dog in a car seat thing.' Really I do. But did anyone think about us bigger dogs? I'd like to sit up front too. Whenever I'm not in a crate, I like to lay my head on the console between the front seats or on top of mom's shoulder. But Oliver, he gets to sit right up there with her. The little brat! (Don'g get me wong; he's my brother and I love him, but sometimes.....)

Mom reminded me that she's not playing favorites. It's just that Oliver is the only one that doesn't trigger the air bag, and that's mostly because he's not really sitting on the seat. His car seat, that he got from the nice lady at Pet Auto Safety, hangs from the headrest and is strapped tightly to the seat, while he is hooked into it by his harness. It's a pretty safe set up for him, I guess.

That doesn't mean I'm not jealous though. I am! But I understand that mom doesn't want me up front because of my safety.  So I'll just continue riding in the back behind my 'pack leader' and her cute little sidekick. I don't have to be happy about it, though, do I?
