The Dogs of 911's

Mans best friend enjoys riding in the 911's too. I'd like to see some getting ready for a crusie and during a crusie with the dogs. I really miss my old dogs. I imagine some of you might understand what its like not having a good old friend anymore. The Black Lab Vader and Golden Retriever Misty are dearly missed here. I really wish I could have them aain to take them for rides and take more pictures. Safety tips are thick towels on seats if the dogs nails aren't worn down from walks. Maybe even sun glasses for the dog. Yah well maybe I'm just missing my dogs really bad. This darn dog show on TV got me started. Seriously though its best to enjoy times with the dog and have pictures for later. Its real bad later on missing the dogs. Anyway not knowing how to make guys feel guilty if they don't post their dogs out for a cruise.....just do it and your best friend will be happy. I think I better go shop for another Black Lab.

I was expecting something relating to the cars of the 60's & 70's with low horsepower :-) I hear ya - dogs & cats can become part of the family and it's very sad to lose them.

Dogs are great....make the move to get another, it wont replace your past dogs or memories with them, but a new dog can bring new memories into your life. My chihuahua likes to ride in the Porsche...kinda makes me look a little silly but...oh well. Id take my fox terrier but shes wayyyy to nutty to sit still. Me and my wife dont have kids yet but having the dogs in the house fill a small portion of that void, we are working on kids though, but mother nature isnt exactly cooperating on her part, as of yet.

The only thing with nails riding in my 911 is 5'8", 115lbs, and preferebly brunette.

Pic of my crack Security Team from a few years back. The black one has since passed away.

As one of the few (if not only) listers with "dog" in his membership name I've gotta chime in here. Pac996 , if you are missing your dogs, you know that there's a dog at the local shelter or rescue that is just waiting for someone like you to completely change their life. Do it for you, do it for them, it'll change your life too. I practice what I preach. http://www.3dogbrew.com/3db/about.htm I have 3 rescue dogs and 1 'store-bought' dog. I also recommend the Duragear seat covers (my pickup has leather too!) available at Petsmart or other Pet locations for the "petseat". I used the towel method mentioned above for a while but this works for dogs and kids and stays in place! Just got this one back from the shop.

The black lab was a pig hunters dog that climbed out of the valley and liked to hang out here on the ridge. She was an excellent guard dog with only flashes of white teeth dancing around and a fearful bark at night. She would even talk. The golden retriever was a neighbors show dog gone bad with pideon toes. Cute little girl I trained to bark. She passed away in her sleep right before leaving for more than a year. Maybe I'll hit the neighbor up for a throw away dog again. They offered us another dog after Misty passed but it just wasn't the right time. The neighbor girls used to chase their hot dog around the neighborhood when it wanted to play hide and seek. Sneaky dogs. Went outside one time because of all sorts of screaming and here was the dog playing buzz them back and forth even sprinting between their legs as they jumped all around trying to catch the little sneaker. Anyway I just wanted to see if guys take their dogs for cruises and try to motivate guys to do so. I know I wish I had pictures that would of survived the computer changes and crashings. Oh well, give 'em all the love you can while they are with you.

Thats a big dog!!! I picked up one dog from a store....it was pretty much a rescue, poor thing was in a small cubicle, pooping on herself. The other one was from a litter from my wifes friend.

Here's a guy selling dog seats with a dog that cost more to feed than the babe on the site. http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2010/...g-car-seat/nl/ This one if from a top gear show from what the images name showed after a google search. My kind of dog drives a porsche

Pac996, I understand how you feel. Losing a loved one is always difficult. I lost two in three years, the second one used to love to ride in my BMW X5, especially when he was in Chemo, I would turn the heat seat on, and he would sit there and rest his Chin on the dashboard. I'll never forget that, or some of the looks I would get from people as they would pull up next to us on the Freeway! He would just slowly turn to look at them, and then rest his Chin back on the dash looking for? Who knows what, maybe he just thought that was what I was doing, so he would to? He was a Great guy too! 90 lbs, Pitbull and Lab Mix, (A perfect mix in my opinion, very sweet and he never had to show his teeth, he was just big,). We used to call him the Mayor, as he would great people and then acknowledge their Dogs at the Dog Park.... But as 3Dogbrew says, Rescue is always a good way to go. It doesn't make it easier, but it helps you remember the good time, and you see how much personality they really have... Your Post reminds me how much I enjoyed our rides, he was a Great Dog!

Haha. I had my saint Bernard in mine today.

Yah BlackAddr dogs are the best and it's hard picking up another. ST Bernards are great dogs. A dog named Queenie I took care of for a while showed just how good they are at taking a guy down when another friend tried scaring her out of the way in a hallway when she was sleeping. They're big dogs and he had teeth marks more than half way around his waist. Wish I could of seen the take down. Dog just knocked him down and walked away. Real loving dogs.

I agree that we must be responsible pet owners and am delighted to detect that sentiment among P owners. I include cats in that list. Smokey left us two years ago and Limit (she thought she was a dog) left us two months ago. We miss them. Boy and Lady (real dogs), went on before. They both loved riding with rear windows down.

Sorry to hear about your losses but as you know, the memories remain fond! Here are my two and yeah, I'm just getting up the courage to get them in the back seat with the top down!!

Anyone read "Racing in the Rain"? Enjoyable for dog lovers, and some German car (BMW) content, too.

Nice dogs TGT40. One place selling a dog seat for the rear looks just like a panel to cover the area when the rear seats are folded down. I'd just pad the front seat in case one swuirts up there and put a big towel or blanket in the back. Yah you'll get hair with those dogs but eh. You could always brush them pretty good before letting them in. Maybe the brush would let you know if they are going to stay calm or get them in the mind set of staying put where you want them. I haven't read Racing in the Rain but thanks for the idea.

Hi Guys, I have not been here for a long time, here a pic of a GSD I trained with my car. Hope you like him.

I am 1/2 way thru it, great book !! "the art of racing in the rain" fitting because all the places the mention I know since its based in Seattle wait, BMW... no that a differant book, this guy is running a 993 cup car -

Quotes source post: 7618270

Whats the name of the porsche related book?

If I recall, he races a 993 cup at Watkins Glen... his street car (and the one the dog rides in) is a BMW. Don't worry, there's some Ferrari content, as well.

Good book, predictable but damn what a tear jerker! My German Shorthaired Pointer .. Henry he rides in the Porsche, throw a towl over the rear seats

Pac, they are the same book....I just didnt get to the part Van was refering to yet

My girl Peanut isn't a big fan of riding in cars but she sure does like to help me work on my P-car. She was a rescue as well.

Ivangene: you should have finished the book by now, its a real quick read.....hmm, what's with the pix trouble, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

He wasnt too happy about his picture being taken today....nor the comment to my wife about him being more like a cat than a dog.

Bonnie, our 3 yr old rescue. Hard to believe a year ago she was an abused dog who was scared and untrustful of humans. In the picture she's at the timing tent of an autocross. Loud cars and 200+ people and she was an angel.

Gryphon loves any car ride, he was sleepy but ready for this ride with his harness on !

Haha. Nice picture. What type of dog is that? It looks similar to my rat terrier.

POs large mutt (or possibly a small grizzly bear) rode in the backseat and perched his front apparently-unclipped razor sharp claws on the center console. Had to replace the entire console. It was that bad. Bad Dog! Love dogs. But dogs in cars? Not so much, except in the immortal work, Go, Dogs Go , of course.

go-dog-go = classic!

I have some colleagues in China and Go, Dog, Go is one of the foundational texts that they use to teach school kids to read English. A true classic. By the way ... Do You Like this Hat?

it looks good on him...but not me, I am not a hat person

Here's Addie-bear, our 85-lb, 11.5 year-old, three-legged blonde Golden Retriever. The pic was taken at Barrier Porsche. She drew more attention than the new GTS...

Barrier VOLVO!

Our golden retriever in the back of my C4S . He likes it there.

Best alarm ever.

HAHA - yea...dogs make pretty good alarms! yesterday out running around we took both dogs in the Burb. I stopped at 7-11 to buy a couple haagen-dazs bars and this car full of middle age crack heads pulls in and all pile out to smoke while their buddy goes to hit the cash machine....my dog was pretty cool till they moved closer to the truck, then made it read clear they were not welcome any closer... I came out and said "sorry, they are real protective of their space" 2 of them said "good dogs, that what they should do" I thought - yea....you are right, then I thought about the poor fools selling junk that venture onto my property.....they get the **** scared out of them with these two, clearly says...."no soliciting" and "Warning, guard dogs on duty" - in other words "keep the f^ck OUT!" my "trunk monkey"says: "Were you thinkin of stealing this tire.....I DONT THINK SO!"

On the corvette forum we have a member who always brings her 2 Great Danes with her on the cruses. Fully grown not something you would expect to see climbing out of a c5. Awesome...a family pet is just that a FAMILY member they are hard to loose enjoy..

Security system when the other fails fur covered razor blade ZOEE.

i brought my parents basset hound(2) quite a few times in the 4s one of them is pretty big and always move in the passenger seat and i hate it, im like my leather!!!! as for the smaller one, hes in the back seat and always put his head on the armrest hehe

Henry.. Rides in the back of the 996, 911 and of course the Cayenne. Beach bum in the Hamptons..

Problem is with guard dogs is I keep forgetting my password I thought is was "What a Mooch" to get into my car.

Short Ride Loooong nap!

This is Jack. He believes that he is in charge of everything, including my cars.

And you pick up all of the satellite radio stations with those ears.

Always match your interior color to your dog. Less maintenance later!

Awww cute dog....My father has a really nice dog he's part gold lab and golden retriever his name is Buddy like your best friend. He is energetic and kinda big for the front seats in my 911 the back is a another story.

Man this thread is making me want to get a dog!!!

This is our old pal, Pilar. One of her last photos. She was a border collie/dalmatian - a little big for the car. We had to put her down a couple years ago. She is dearly missed, but Santa brought us a new puppy last year. She hasn't been in the Porsche yet. She's still too rambunctious! (the Clifford doll no longer exists - chewed to bits) Pilar in 911.jpg Lanie.jpg

Shown here is Mac... 70lb German Wirehaired Pointer (and again with his 44lb new roommate and fellow beggar the six-month old Luna). Mac LOVES riding in the P-car since he's closer to the action (rather than behind the back seats of our wagon)...

Sydney

max doesn't seem to like the 4S....go figure-

One is my son's Golden the smaller female passed last Sept.

Have to play... may not be a 911, or in my 986S, but close enough!

Picked up a date once and as she got in the car she said, I have to bring my dog OK? Luckily, it was in her purse.

Anyone ever try to put a 75lb Choco Lab Puppy in the Porsche...how did that go ? There is a great dog thread in the OT forum BTW as well.

I'd have a talk with him using the wide open eyes after explanations of we have to be still and not jumping around in the car. The pup might not like wearing sox. Never had a dog in 911 car but I know our black lab we had nails could mark up anything including concrete. Possibly: 1. Don't have a window down inviting jumping up to stick head out. 2. GT3 seatbelt modified for pup 3. Act all nice getting into the car then after she's in say "do you want to go to the vets now?". I guess just try being calm and mellow buddy buddy. Vets do have pills for dogs that are wacky in cars. That's not my sort of thing for a best friend. Only thing I noticed with the Vader the black lab was she liked feeling out the most comfotable and stable seating arrangement. Towels just made the seat more slippery. I'm not sure if trying a night time departure for a first go would be the mellowist time the dog would have to start with. Fantastic dog you have. Lucky man.

We had a real scare yesterday- my copilot, our 12 year-old Golden Retriever (see the blonde in my avatar) collapsed at the vet, stopped breathing and her heart stopped. She gave the vet and us a real good scare and then decided it wasn't time to go to that great big doggie park in the sky and started breathing again. It turns out that she has a tumor on her spleen that is weeping. She goes under the knife today at 10:00. We wouldn't even consider it, since she is 12 and lost a leg to cancer, but she is eating and so happy we decided that she wasn't ready to give up. Besides, she has lots of rides in the Cab to look forward to!

I have two little monsters, but they aren't both allowed in the 911 at the same time. Only one passenger at a time since they can't share a seat without bickering and there's no back seat.

Here is Layla, our 70 LB golden retriever, enjoying the rumble seats. She jumps right in and seems plenty comfortable, whether that is looking out the back or curled up taking a nap. Jeff.
