One of the things I've been thinking about while painting the RV-8---actually, while spending hours and hours and hours color sanding between coats---is how I might arrange to make the passenger seat a safe, comfortable place to put my dog on long trips. Cleco, the Sharpei-Lab I adopted 9 years ago when I started building, absolutely hates it when I leave her with my parents on these trips, so it is only fitting that I take her along with me.
My biggest concerns are:
1) Hearing Protection: I've been thinking of ways to make a headset for her that would strap on over her head. It wouldn't have to be an ANR, just a modified ear muff of sorts;
2) Restraint System: I have the Hookers, but I'm sure there are other ways to positively keep the dog in her seat when things get bumpy.
Like I said, this is only something I'm thinking about. Am I way off the mark on this? I'd appreciate any input---and especially photos---from those of you who've "been there, done that."
Thanks!
