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.

Thats alright, very beautiful dog. Also, might not ever attack anyone but they don't need to know that, lol.

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.

I'm so sorry you lost your best friend tndiesel. :sad: Have you thought about getting another 4 legged co-pilot ?

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.
