Good Ideas.

Started a new thread, as I don't have this, but thought it was a good idea, and I'll probably find other things I think may be helpful.

Cheers,
Sheba.

That's where I saw it.   I make a note of websites from TV to check out at a later date.  Nearly forgot that one.  Might get it myself.  Looks handy for on the road.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Swiped [no pun intended] this from the Caravan and Motorhome Forum.  Don't need them myself, but some here might find them useful.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Only Problem as I see it...
If the wind blows from the wrong end then when the clothe are nearly dry they can be blown off in a similar way to the way the young lass gets the clothes off.

My sister is back O'nite.   She's improved on the Doggy Seat.   Childs' Foam Car seat, back on the bottom.   Covered with a Childs' sleeping bag.   She got the seat for $2 at a garage sale.

No need of padding for height underneath at all.

Cheers,
Sheba.

What a great idea. Will keep an eye out for one at the op shops. its just the right shape, having the higher sides and makes it nice and cosy for Jedda. Perfect for Punky, who has just arrived home from the vets after being desexed. She's very quiet and think she will sleep for a while.

OK Chris,

Managed to grab a couple more shots before they left this morning.  First one, she's having a stretch,  second, ready to go.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Hahaha!!! The first one I thought, Oh she looking out the window. Then I realised I was looking at the wrong end.

Its a perfect solution Sheba

Edit for another question. Could you work out where she had the lead attached to.
 I see she used the seatbelt to hold it steady, perfect

Hi Marj,

Thought you'd appreciate that one.  That's why I posted it as well.   Donna has the lead attatched behind the seat somewhere.   I'll ask her and post later.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Hi Marj,

She rang a few minutes ago, to let me know she'd arrived in Townsville.   Lots of road works along the way folks.

She has a spare lead permanently attatched to the headrest bars on the passenger seat.  Made it short enough so that Jedda can't either fall or jump off the seat.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Ok, thats what I will do then, keep a permanent one attached and a different one for her walkies.
Will have to find a different place to attach though as have no headrest bars. The front is like a bench seat but are actually 3 separate seats so will look for something to attach to.

Didn't save any of the shots of Myrtle on the Morley site the other day, so can't remember properly what the seats look like from in the back.  It's off the site now.

Don't suppose you've got any ?

Cheers,
Sheba.

Like the babyseat idea. When molly & I travel She has a harness which is attached to the headrest bars. This means if I should stop unexpectantly any strain is over her body rather than around her neck. I can then unclip and attach lead when she needs to get out.

Marj, could you make a loop in the harness, [after adjusting it to the right length,]  then get a belt or similar, thread through the loop, take it around the back of the seat, and tighten it to suit.

Sort of like a "Y" shape.

That's the best I can think of so quickly.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Sheba, I went back to get photos of their site too and they had all gone, was most annoyed, they could have waited another couple of minutes, Haha!!

As soon as I get Myrtle I will set something up for Punky, will go op shopping tomorrow looking for a childs car seat as there is one church op shop is only open on Fridays.
She has quite a few different length leads so will be able to work something out, and look for a harness small enough. She's not going to get any bigger, 3 kilos seems to be her size now.

I found a very small harness for Punky today. It is so small I would call it a cat harness but it was regarded as a small dog.

That's the problem with those little fluffy pets. You have to offer it a bone to find out which is the head end. Ha ha ha ha.
Cute.

Still reckon you can loop the permanent Lead around the Head-rest area on the Seat Marj.  [Had a look at the Pics you posted.]

Cheers,
Sheba.

Do you use a collar or body harness? I think the harness would be more comfortable for the pet than a collar pulling on the neck.

CG I found a small enough harness for Punky the other day. Haven't used it yet but certainly will while travelling, don't want to hang her.

Jim, I think the end with the Two eyes might be the head.

Thought I'd mentioned in an earlier post that the lead is attatched to a Harness.

Cheers,
Sheba.
