had to take the dog to the garage this afternoon - no it's not what you think he didn't need his undercarriage seen to - it's just Murphy's law - once I got home and made him wait while I ate lunch I couldn't just leave him in the house while I took the car to the garage, it wouldn't have been fair on him.. so I got his blankey out and laid it carefully on the back seat and in he shot. I tried to fasten him in with the seatbelt harness I bought but yet again it bamboozled me so I had to leave it. He was very good til I got to the garage and as it was sunny thought I'd better not leave him in the car while I found someone to look at the dog. Unfortunately I had forgotten his lead so off he bounded, sniffing his way round all the cars and the resident dog - the garage is on the edge of the country so there's lots of grass around. He showed us all up though when I found a garage man to come and look at the car, I then spent what felt like 10 minutes chasing Murphy round the cars (in high heels - me not the dog) while he had a good old explore and completely ignored me.
The mannie got it right with his comment as I finally returned with murphy by the collar - "he's an obedient one, that yin." Hm!
Still, he only left one dusty pawprint on Richard's pristine leather back seat so I'll forgive him (but Richard doesn't know so keep it under your hats!)
