Title: Keep them doggies rollin rollin.....
Post by: tinkerman73 on March 17, 2011, 03:49:13 PM
As my wagon is now my daily driver and we are trying to sell the van and the Lumina, I am left pondering how we will make accomodations for our two dogs. Since the wagon is far from being restored and it has the rubber mat in the back, I am not too worried about it. However my boxer likes to climb and jump. So I would really really rather him not being able to get to the back of the seat! Does anyone know where I can get a car cage for them that would kinda fit in the back of the wagon? I would need to try to find one and measure it and measure the car and the whole nine yards and probably buy the wrong one when all said and done. I have mesh so I could build my own. But.... probably would not do so good on the frame! LOL. Also will be short on time now that I am going back to work. So if anyone has found one that works, it would be cool to find out where and how! Thanks.

have you looked into using one of those adjustable child gates? a friend of mine has one for his dog and it does the job

I'm glad mine aren't too destructive... here's my crew (sans the white one. Sadly he passed away not long after I took the picture).

That's a great idea... baby gates.

Boy, I wouldnt dare put grass in the my car. My doggies would try to pee all over it! LOL HMM, baby gate? Might be a decent idea. Only thought process on that is, if I was to make it wide enough to put enough pressure on it so that the boxer didnt jump on it and knock it over, I would run a chance of cracking the plastic sides. Hmmm.....
