The box in the footwell is exactly what I need to do for Sailor. Easier than having to lean over and pin him back when I brake. Or letting him chin himself on the dash. Or window.

Sorry about your dog Mick!  My job last week had 3 Borders.  I still miss my Border and she’s taking pups next year so I’ll see.

What a trio.

I lost my last Border a few months back, one day short of his 15th Birthday, a bit reluctant to dive in and get another dog just yet.

You don’t see them around these parts but there are loads of other scruffy haired terrier types that need rescuing.
Got a weekend away in Paris watching Nick Cave coming up, then I think I will get one when I return.

Me and wee Poppes went to collect her mum from the airport, there's a big carvery place nearby I stopped to let the dog out. Walking alongside the building on the verge and I could see the place was packed. The dog could obviously smell they had a fire exit door open a crack, so off she popped, under the fence and through the door before I realised it.

 

So I jumped the fence, threw the door open and burst in shouting her. She was off though, I ended up playing chase around the restaurant with random kids giggling and pointing "here! it's here!". Fortunately she went behind a bar where I cornered her. I scooped her up ending her hunt for the nexus of meat and retreated, apologising to all that would listen, back toward the fire exit. We left to what felt like a rumble of ridicule, but I'll call it a standing ovation. Met the oh outside who obviously thought I was a dick and wanted to know why I'd taken the dog in the fire exit in the first place.

 

Another great hobby she's taken to is sentry duty at the neighbours cat flap. Operation Persecute, with the aim of repressing all enemy patrols.

Age has indeed brought the cantankerous side of her character to the fore.
