One more question, provoked by our observations in various parking lots, that you could write about: Can I/Must I/Should I/Will I leave Honey in the car unattended during the proposed trip?

To dismiss the most irresponsible possibility out of hand, let’s immediately address any day when the outside air temperature is over, say, about 50 degrees F and the sun is shining, rapidly heating the interiors of greenhouses and any other glassed-in boxes, including cars with shut windows. Then, No. Many times No.

Having dispensed with that notion, any other thoughts on if, when, or under what condition Honey or any other dog might spend some time in a vehicle alone?
