|
|
| My wife brought up a point this morning about women truckers and safety. how many lady truckers out there have a dog with them? My wife says she wouldn't drive anywhere without a dog. but then again, she loves her baby, I mean her dog. If it were me or the dog, I guess I'd better have a fur jacket... :lol: :lol: |

Once in a while I take my dog along with me. She's a big baby though. LOL She'd lick a person to death first before she ever bit someone in my defense. She's only 1 1/2 yrs. old and a purebred siberian husky.

| Thanks Devildice :) We think so too. She's a red & white purebred Siberian Husky 1 1/2 yrs. old. We also have a gray & white male and he's 2 1/2. Plan to breed her late this spring. Drive safe everyone. :) |

| I take my dog with me, out of necessity, no one else to watch him. He barks and growls at strangers, little do they know, it is his excitement showing, but, no matter what it does the job. |

I just lost my co-pilot last month to a long battle with pancreatic cancer...
Started out bringing her with me because I had no one to care for her. Ended up keeping her with me because she loved the truck, and she saved my rear end on at least two occasions I can recall. She also used to protect the trucks to either side of me - and would use all the mirrors on the cab to alert me to goings on with the trailer doors when I was driving van.
Good dog. |

Thanks... I've contemplated it, but right now there's a lot of my life that's up in the air, and honestly it wouldn't be right to take another animal in right now when I'm trying to figure out how to care for myself! :wink:
I will say though, she was a rescue from a Knoxville, TN kill shelter, and the best dog I've ever known. To anyone thinking of getting an animal, please consider giving one a home that is sitting in a shelter. |

| Even though I team drive (not right now though) I always take my little girl. She's tiny, but is someone would come up to the truck and tap on the window, I swear if there wasn't glass between them, she would rip their arm off. The only pic I have of her is my avatar, all the others are on the other computer. |

Thanks. Even though he is only 10#, he thinks he's a dobbie. Anybody comes even close to the truck and he's ready to rip a body part off.
But if you toss him his ball... you've become his best friend. :)
I dread the day I lose him. He and I have been through a lot in the past eight and a half years. That's the part of pet ownership I don't like. |

this is Sir Zion .... a mini - he weights 9 pds and thinks he's just as big as any big dog around .... I've met several female drivers with their dogs,.... they really help to take care of the lonely days when theirs no one to talk to that you trust. As well as the fact they need to get out to take care of their business - it makes you stop and stretch your legs and get a breath of fresh air .... so if you can ... take your pet. |
