There was a story in the morning paper about the killer cat at the old folks home. She has lived there since a kitten and now is the harbinger of death. Goes on rounds and then decides to sit with those who are going to kick the bucket. Better at predicting death than the medicos, so

How funny that your dog does this too! Joel doesn't do this in the 300SD. Perhaps the angle is different due to the height of the armrest above the seat. I guess I'll have to buy another W123 to compare.:-) Kevin in Portland, OR 1983 300SD 267kmi, Ursula

Anke loves car rides and lays on the floor in front of the passenger seat. Sammy is not so crazy about car rides and has to be consigned to the back with the arm rest UP (to keep him from weasling forward. Sometimes he lays on the floor, sometimes on the seat and sometimes stands on the

Hi, Chris. Joel is a seeing eye dog, or Guide Dog since he came from Guide Dogs for the Blind. I've also heard of many dogs that seem to have a natural ability to detect low blood sugar in their owners. Some dogs can tune in to their owner's needs before the owner even realizes it. For

Interesting about the footwell. She has always liked it there, but she is on the small side (about 65 pounds). Sammy is 95-100 and the footwell is a no go. I am endlessly amazed by what dogs can be trained to do...and working dogs in general. We got our 2 GSDs after being robbed of everything

I use to take my golden all over in my old porsche 911. The rear seats flip down, so once she was in, she could get quite comfortable. She was a large girl too at 120 lbs. The car would average 21 mph on the highway and she would manage about 120 miles per pigs ear. :-) We tried the front seat
