Do not leave the dog alone in the car unrestrained. Even if we’re just going to run into Home Depot for 15 minutes to buy tomato plants.

Peter handled the destruction of his car seat very well.

There is a bit of irony to this. We went to Home Depot right after Molly’s vet appointment. The vet reminded the boys of the importance of picking up their toys so she does not ingest them. He told us about the times he’s had to “open up dogs” to take out lodged toys. Hmmm…wonder if he’s ever had to open up a dog to remove a car seat…bet that would be a first.
