I have a Bichon which I rescued off the mean streets of the city. I've had the little guy for about three years. Prior to owning the Foz he didn't much appreciate riding in the VW Golf. He'd typically sit up front on a lap, holstered in for safety and given a view of the road ahead with a window cracked open for the feel of the moving air.
In the VW he would often throw up several minutes into the ride, or worse - going into a sympathetic reaction where he would shiver, slobber and get cold. :icon_frown: This physiological response could not be attenuated once it started and would only cease after we got off the road and broke the cycle by walking him around a highway rest stop, or other. Once the cycle stopped, he was good to go.
That being all said - in the Foz he is good as gold! :woohoo: While he may not be exactly thrilled about riding...he doesn't go into the whole crazy business of shivering & slobbering uncontrollably.
What's going on that's so good with the Foz? :icon_question: I'm thinking it's the height off the ground and increased visibility? The new silver color scheme inside? Subaru's branding the Foz as a dog-friendly mobile? :huh: Your experiences with your pup would help me answer something that's been gnawing at my brain for a while. Thanks for any input.
Cheers,
CapeAnn
