Cobra Noise Ear Protection For Dogs

[Bill Wells]

Carroll.. ..I Got It. i have not slept nights worrying about your dog, but alas, it came to me in the middle of the night :

your new car can't be too far away now. it is time for some famous wild animal training. get a small step stool and put an electric heater in front of it on the floor in your living room . that will simulate your car seat ht with the door open and hot exhausts. then you can train your dog to safely jump over the hot pipes and into the seat without getting burned.

then, go out to Neighborhood Hardware down at Woodward and Lincoln and get two eye hooks to mount to your dash as well as a small dog safety harness. now you can secure your dog IN the car by affixing the harness ends to the eye hooks in the dash. might look a little tacky, but this is for the humane treatment of man's best friend !

after leaving the hardware, walk next door to the drug store and get a big bag of cotton puffs. use those as ear plugs for your dog while driving the car. there are plenty in the bag, so it is easy to replace them if they blow out at speed. perhaps some easy to remove surgical tape might work to tape them in the ears, just ever so softly to secure them.

now, this should work for you...but , i am still troubled about my gold fish. i did get a gimballed cup holder from a marine store for dash mounting . i have the clear glass large coffee mug so my fish can see while i drive, and more importantly, so i can see the fish. those gold fish are tempermental ya know. i have a removable top so the water and fish don't get splashed out on wot or hard braking. the earlier tartar sauce recommendation has been discarded as it clouds up the water. however, as Bo suggested, i have named one of them GIL but i can' let them 'fin' for themselves. so far my project is coming along nicely . however for the safety of the fish i will not take my innaugural test drivei til it warms up as i am fearful that the fishies will be iced in this subzero windchill weather....so til it warms up, this all remains fishy to me..

Carroll, i cant wait to see your new car though with trusty fido by your side, strapped into the car securely and humanely with those cute cotton puff earmuff earplugs....bring your fishing pole and i will let you cast for some fish in my car !! Bill, down at the wharf
