Every time I see that sad looking newf with that ridiculous contraption on it's face, I get more and more irritated.
Do I enjoy chiseling the drool off my walls, windows and car seats? Or getting ready to go out and having to change because I now have a wet smear down my leg from the hugs and kisses I got? No, not really. The difference is, I knew what I was getting into and I embrace it because I love my Lucy and all the wetness she brings with her. I wouldn'd change anything. Towels work just fine and clothes can always be cleaned. Maybe I should go on amazon and sell my contraption I made for my car. Lucy loves to sit in the middle of the back seat and she always drips all over the center console. It's almost impossible to get it off so I cut up a bath mat the same color as the console and sewed two elastic bands onto the bottom of it. When we go for rides in my car, I slip it over the half of the console that opens and it's held in place when I close it. She can drip all she wants and I don't have to worry about cleaning up after. The bath mat has the rubber bottom so nothing seeps through and it can just be tossed in the washing machine. It works great! No need to try to change the way a dog is supposed to be just to make your life easier. I changed what I do to make my life a little easier without Lucy even knowing.
