[Car Seats] Are Not Just For Babies...

Last Monday I had to take Jett to the vet to get some shots and since Adam was at work I did not have him there to help me with keeping both dogs contained in the car. So I thought what could I use to contain Jett but still be safe. I have a baby car seat I received from a friend, so without giving it much thought I grabbed it and a blanket a few toys and crossed my fingers it would work. 

I strapped him in with him resisting the whole time once I put him in the car he settled down a bit. When he saw that Nala was not restrained he starting resisting so I had to pull over and re-due the seat belt and to put him back in. I only had to do it once more before he knew I meant business. 

It seemed like such a silly thing to be doing but if it meant keeping us three safe for the 30 min drive it would be worth it.
He dozed on and off on the ride to the vet once we were back in the car driving home he didn't resist once. He actually fell fast asleep and slept the entire ride home. I don't know if the shots made him sleepy or if he was just to tired to resist anymore but I didn't care. He was holding still and being good so I was happy. All the cars that passed me who could see in my window probably did a double take when they looked in to see a puppy in a baby car seat. Or thought I was a crazy lady LOL I know I would!
I know he is a boy in a pink car seat but you make due with what you have. LOL He sure makes this car seat look cute!!
