Thank goodness for the dog blankets in the back seat
My partner & I love our creatures.
We take them almost everywhere that we go.
They love to ride in the car. They tend to get a lot of dirt & mud on the back seat, so we have a couple of blankets that we keep in the truck & we put them on the seat when the dogs are riding with us. My partner & I were very thankful for those blankets yesterday when we got into an accident & we were stranded on the side of the road. We were coming back from an event & we were up in the mountains by the lake. There was snow on the ground & maintenance was spotty. I did not see the elk come out of the woods & I swerved to avoid hitting the creature. My partner & I ended up in a snowbank & we could not get the car to move. We could not turn on the engine either. There was no heat in the car & it was getting cold very suddenly. I turned on the hazard lights & put out a road flare. I remembered the blankets in the back of the car. We covered ourselves with blankets & waited for help to arrive. We did not have heat in the car for nearly 6 thirds & we would have frozen if we did not have them. That accident was 1 of the worst accidents that I can remember having in the winter. I was stranded once before, although I had heat in the car & we were close to the interstate. This time was much more spine-chilling.
