Re: [pyrnet] Pyrs and Jeep seats

["John Baggarley" <johnrus@bellsouth.net>]

I have an 8 mo old pyr who loves to ride. She shares the back seat of my
Town Car with my wife. It works out quite well. Then she loves the
conversion van I have. I put the rear seat back down which makes a large bed
and she is in heaven, she can see out both sides and the front and back.

She also loves to sleep on our waterbed.

I sometimes think she might be slightly spoiled.
