We recently went to Stafford, about a twenty-five minute trip. She

three times.

I've tried several things to get her more comfortable in the car.
I'm now
feeding her there, and she's finally gotten to where she'll climb
into the back
seat to eat her food. Before, I'd have to pick her up and put her
in the car.

When we go for a walk, I put her in the car, drive a couple blocks,
park the
car, and then walk. Coming home we do the reverse.

I've several times taken her out and put her in the car while I
climb in and
read.

The vet has given us some Xanax, but that must be given a half hour
before a
trip. Plus, I'd rather not have to medicate her.

Any ideas out there? Where I launch the boat is more than twenty
minutes away,
and I don't want to have to clean up her puke when I get there.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking,
which is why conservatives can see in black and white.

Sounds to me that you might have to get used to it, John. Then
consider boating. I haven't known of any retriever that didn't love to
jump into water. Soooo. You'd probably have to leash it into the
boat.Then clean up dog puke there too!

That doesn't sound like fun.

No, it probably doesn't.
