Dogs in cars.

Missed a trick there, JtM. Poor show...

Don't encourage him.

Hurts are known to charge extra for dirty or smelly returns.

Yeah, but what about the dog?


and repeat, again...

Thanks for that. The car hire firm is Hertz and they don't seem to be on that list. Oh well, worth taking a chance.

Just buy a cheap universal boot liner. Cockers are rather prone to mud and water.

La famille Gavroche en vacances. Pas de probleme.

Excellent - and a you get a bonus point for the car being a diesel

Hiring another car for 5 days only cost £111 ( equivalent size to a Ford Focus) . I can live with that.

Cars are cleaned after every hire so shouldn't be a problem.

You will be one of the luckiest men on earth if you take a hire car back covered in dog hair and don't get charged at least £50 for valeting it. Dog hair can be a nightmare to remove (it gets into the weave) and I've known some valeting companies simply refuse to take on particularly doggy interiors

Couldn't you get parcelforce to deliver the dog?

I can't help but think that the Gavroche family holiday starts with a list of things to f*cking moan about; if the list is too short then it's binned

 

[Poacher]

No need for the dog to be in the car, no need for a trailer or woofbox, just tie it to the bumper and set off.

Pawcelforce, shorely?

Yebbut that's in a car you've hired specifically for the purpose though, right?

Otherwise, what's the point, Nickyboy, what's the point?

What about swapping the mutt for one of those suede nodding dogs? The daughter might not even notice or possibly prefer. No walking it in the rain, no dog shoot bags to hang on the fence, no hairs, no costly food.
Bollox, I think I've cracked it.

. When we go on holiday he goes and stays with eldest son - who takes him on the bus or walks him there.
I really don't understand people who take their dogs into the town .

Glad your dog is an integrated member of your family

I haven't bothered reading the whole thread. Do you think I'm nuts or summat?
