Billy Bob also sez "You'ns can't merry that vergun gurl boy, if'n she's not good enuf fer her brothers she's not good enuf fer yu".

 

In my part of the south, most hunting dogs are in cages built into the truck bed.  I've never seen 'hunting' dogs free roaming the truck bed.  They're too valuable...at least during the season.

I really don't see that many dogs in the back of pickups.  My dog preferred the front seat riding shotgun.  And while he wasn't belted in, all I had to say was hold on and he would brace himself......I miss him.

I'm sorry about your dog Jim. You're never mentioned a dog, how long has he been gone?

Ok, I give up, how do you put a seat belt on a dog or cat?

I didn't read the link about the NJ law but I'd be willing to bet that it's not about the safety of the dog but about the dog possibly distracting the driver unless the dog is restrained in the car.

Read it -  its all about BS because the law states dogs can't ride in the BACK of a truck. Nothing to do with driver distraction 

They make restraining harnesses for dogs.  When we traveled with ours he would be in a crate.  A cat would probably fit in a large shoe box ( a crate would would work as well for them).

About 7 years now..  We never got another.  Our first dog, hopefully not the last, but the type of life we're leading now is not conducive to having another.  He was a Standard Schnauzer.  Lived to be 16.  Loved to sniff women's butts.  He was famous for that.  Never met a butt he didn't like.

When people that I love or know closely die, within a week or so I can actually hear them say a few words to me while I'm half sleeping.  Happened when my mother died last December.  When 'Chance' died back in 2005, a few days later I was awoken by a bark.  Sounded like him anyway.  Then the next day I saw a cloud go by that was the perfect silhouette of his head.

I'll bet that Billy Bob would be very distracted to watch Duke flying out of the back of the pick-em-up truck while Billy was going around a curve.

That was your dog? I heard about him and his love of butts.
