I would hardly call that a "family dog" though I'm sure you all "love" him just like you love your new mailbox.
I'm not sure at all if this is a serious post or a bit of satire.

Those of you that remote start your cars with your dogs locked inside need to remember that most factory remote start systems will auto shutdown after a period of 5-15 minutes, depending on the setting. I know the Ford systems are this way, but the average dumb ass consumer doesn't even think about it.
Just because I don't let my dog jump allover my bed and furniture doesn't mean I love him like a mailbox LOL. cashyman is very much a member of our family. Just out of curiosity what does fit your description of a "Family Dog"

Well, I guess I'm "full retard" then because I do all those things and take her with me in the cab of the pickup whenever I can. My dog lives in my house. Though I do think it's kind of retarded to think that a dog's birthday means anything to it.

My dog goes with me nearly 100% of the time. Home, office, running errands, etc. She's happier sitting in the truck than being left behind. If I decide to take her it's my responsibility and for 8+ years this dog has thrived. Passers-by need to mind their own business and stay out of mine.

The illogical nature of your post notwithstanding, I'm just pointing out that some ****tards need reminders not to be morons with their pets.
Veterinarians just LOVE being called in on a Sunday afternoons to try to save the life of their pet dog that has suffered heat stroke on Saturday, but the owners wanted to "wait it out" to see how he does, only to see him deteriorate over night, at which time the only thing left to do is to put him to sleep because too much organ or neurological damage has taken place. It's a lovely way to end the weekend, with the owners and their kids crying, wondering why Gus isn't coming home with them.

Sorry, I was unclear about what part of that website I was responding to. I totally agree that you shouldn't leave a dog in the car with the windows up or cracked nor would I leave a dog in a running car with the AC on; I think there's just too many possibilities for something bad happening there. What I was satirising as relates to that website was their absolute objection to riding with your dog's head hanging out the window. Yes, there is a risk with that that the dog may sustain an injury. I've been letting my dogs hang their heads out the window for probably the last 30 years. My dear departed dog, Bear, holds the record of sticking his head out the window, albeit briefly, at 107 miles an hour. What I'm objecting to on that website is this whole concept that we don't want to do something because it might have some risk associated with it. That's not how I live my life.
Funny how you are talking down to me like you and you're dog are somehow superior because you treat it like a human. Than proceed to bash me because I have a tradition of giving dogs steaks on there birthday.
I don't have any issues with people riding around with dogs in there vehicles. I don't personally do it whatever each his own. I don't let dogs in the house however I have no issue with people who do. But to say my family doesn't love our dogs and bash me because of it did in fact make you the "Full Retard" you seem to so proudly refer to yourself as. I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there who also injoy the taste of there dogs penis and love nothing more than to smeer it's sticky juices all over there faces to each there own. I'm sure there are even a few states that will issue marriage licences to those loving dog owners.

Huh? Don't you recall your own words?
Wow, just wow. This has taken a turn for the seriously bizarre and I think I am done here.

Ok, got it. I think what I posted was about leaving your dog in the car. I too let our boys have their heads out the window, though not at highway speeds.
Just because I don't understand something doesn't mean I'm against those who do it. I don't understand how a man can be attracted to another man but I have nothing against gay people.

Are you offended hahaha. I'm just very unclear about what makes a dog "family" and what makes it a "Mailbox"
So far I know if I drive at 107mph with my dogs head out of the window it's "family" however if I give it steak on its birthday it's a "mailbox"

I grew up with an outside dog, and my wife and I now have family dogs that goes everywhere with us. It's not remotely the same thing. The outside dog is more akin to having a kid that's raised entirely by a nanny until the age of 12, and then sending them off to boarding school after that. But hey, once a year you spoil them by spending some time with them on their birthday. There are parents who do this and swear that they still love their kids, and other parents who find that unimaginable.
But anyway, coming back to the original topic. I left my doggies in the car over the weekend as well for about an hour. However, our vehicle (Tesla) has an electrical air conditioner that doesn't require the car to be on for the A/C to be running. We also monitor the interior temperature every 5 minutes from our phones. No risk of the doggies putting the car in reverse/drive, or breaking state laws for leaving the car running, or someone stealing the car because of the key in the ignition.
I do leave a sign on my window with our phone number and explanation that the A/C is running, but I realize there are still some nosy people out there that can't help themselves. So I'm busy designing a new sign that incorporates a thermostat so you can actually see from the outside what the current interior temperature is.
I have no idea why dog-lovers call cops on dogs in the first place - that's the quickest way to get a dog shot.

You, sir, sound "full retard" to me
I have no problem with working dogs provided they are well cared for and not abused. I have no problem with dogs that live in a kennel except to come out to train or hunt. I have no problem with dogs that are locked up during the day and roam the junkyard free at night. I have no problem with the dog that lives in a yard or in a garage and whose primary function is to guard the property. But those are not "part of the family" and folks that choose to make a dog part of their family are not "full retard".
Hmmmm, lots of assumptions here. Because I don't take my dog rally racing down public highways and let him fill the house with farts and hair means I only give him attention once a year?? Why even have a dog? I promise you my dog is no working or guard dog hahaha. He is given attention and played with multiple times everyday by everyone in the family. To clarify my "Full Retard" statement my mom works with a lady who had a cocker spaniel. A few years ago it got cancer this lady spent $12,000+ dollars on surgery and medications for it I believe the dog was 13 or so years old. As you would expect the dog didn't even make it 6mos however she is screwed for life with the bills. Keep in mind they work in a small medical office doing accounting and make about 11 bucks an hr. I recently put a new starter in her car it was a 92 Toyota with rust holes so big a child could climb through them. That was "Full Retard" in my opinion. She is a really nice older lady and I have nothing against her I definitely don't understand her train of thought but to each there own.

When I had my GSP, he lived in our house, but had his own dog bed. He was never allowed on my bed, nor furniture. He did ride in the Jeep with me, and I'd even take out the back seat, and put his bed back there. He loved it.
He had a habit of running down the hall, then sliding into the cat who would be sitting on the kitchen floor, and he would wipe her out. Good times.

My wife's grandparents ran a club for GSP's. They had one named IKE most amazing dog I ever met. If you were outside you could pick up a rock and make a mark on it. Play with it with him than Chuck it into the pond. It might be 5 minutes or an hour but at some point that dog would come up to you with that same rock. This is 100% no over exaggerating or BS ike was the most amazing dog I have ever met.
I'm assuming GSP stands for German Shorthair Pointer.

Yes, German Shorthaired Pointer. Great dogs. I miss mine, and hope to get another at some point.
I had a GSP as a kid on the farm. My dad was a "dogs belong outside" type so he never went in. I once tried to bring him in the house, he got nervous and ran back out. Same with cars, scared to get in one. He was a pretty happy guy though I think. He had a huge farm to run around, guarded the property, helped us herd the cattle. That was pretty impressive too seeing as how we never trained him or intended for him to do it. One day he just started helping and he was so good I always called him when I needed to do it.
My wife, however, is an indoor dog person. Shortly after marriage we "needed" a dog and had retired greyhounds for a few years. I was introduced to not only dogs in the house but having to kick a dog out of my spot to go to bed. After they passed on she was feeling a void but wanted something more manageable and got a corgi. Then after we'd had the corgi for a while she informed me one of her friends had a pregnant GSP. I really missed the one I had as a kid and even though we really didn't need another dog... we ended up with a puppy.
Puppy Archer did not like to be left alone. I slept on the floor by his kennel the first couple of nights, this evolved to him just bring brought into bed. Eventually the little guy grew up into the big guy... he can be left alone in his crate for several hours now but he always wants to go along for the ride. Cars, Trucks, ATVs, Airplanes... whatever he just wants to go along. Since he either hangs his head out the window or sleeps, then if I don't have more than a 5 minute stop to make or I'm going someplace he's welcome then why not?
Also, due to him we now walk 1-3 miles a day. He runs in circles.. if the weather is not conducive to walking we take the ATV.... I can't keep up with him without going speeds that risk a crash. If he doesn't get his run, he barks, bays, and brings us our shoes.
I've been training him a little, got a training dummy we're playing fetch with. I think he gets it because his attitude with the training dummy is totally different than with a toy. He's far more intense with it... I want to find a trainer who knows what they're doing to polish him up and hopefully he can go hunt some pheasant with me. He seems to have the aptitude and we know he's not gun shy.

You, sir, sound "full retard" to me
Working on it. So far we've bought a house, car and RV where the number #1 deciding factor for the particular choice was something our doggies needed more than us. (Large yard, electric AC, king size bed).
Now let me get back to controller.com to browse the pressurized cabins...
