backseat snoozer

I am convinced that if Baxter could marry the piece of inanimate foam and faux fur that is his car seat, he would do so in a heartbeat. From the moment we snap him in to his elevated mistress, he curls up and enters a zen like state, snoozing and soaking up the sun as the car's gentle motions lull him to sleep. As we have a veterinarian that comes to the house for routine care, the seat is never bad to him and never takes him anywhere he doesn't want to go. In his mind, his seat is a source of security, a source of wonder. The seat takes him to places where he can lick food off the floor and meet new friends. The seat cuddles him and lets him watch the world go by. The seat never cleans his ears or trims his nails.

I used to think having a booster car seat for a dog was a sign of overindulgence. Now I just realize that life is much better with a doxie by your side, whenever, however. Even if it means your dog has a mistress.

cat and Meow shoppe usually has them at a good price. The throne as it is known in our house marked the end of car sickness.

I searched on Snoozer My Buddy Lookout and went from there. The best price at the time for his double wide (for travelling with little buddies) was at PetEdge.com. I don't think that was an officially branded snoozer bed but it is practically just like it. We bought his everyday medium sized one from a luggage place online close to Christmas when everything was 20% off with free shipping. Look around because price varies, as well as cover options!
