riding dirty

I personally know two crazy poodle ladies.  Each of them has three poodles (who all look very much like Beulah, only not as cute of course) and each of them treat their three poodles as if they were their children.  Heck, I guess they are their children.  It's cute, but in the back of my mind I find myself comparing myself to them and wondering if I've crossed that line yet.

The other day I had to answer that question with a resounding YES.

My poodle has a car seat.  Oh yeah she does.  It's comfier than the driver's seat by far.  And she has room to curl up and sleep in it.

After some confusion on her first day riding in it, Beulah seems to have embraced the idea at least.  I get jealous when I look over and see her lounging.

In my defense, it's safer and much more comfortable for me too.  Having her not all in my lap and secured to the seat belt in case of an accident is the responsible thing to do.

I still feel a little embarrassed about it.  Pretty sure I'm headed down the windy path of poodlemania.
