my dog ate my seatbelt!!!

[Bryan Rodgers]

my apologies to everyone.. ...I -may- have slightly over reacted... ...I
should really think about my responses before I hit 'reply'. I think it was
residue leftover from a recent lunchroom conversation with co-workers about
what steps they've taken in the past with neighbourhood dog owners(abusers)
and animal control/humane society... ....there's a lot of bad dog owners out
there... ...thankfully, a lot less then good dog owners :)

Christmas day will be the 1 year anniversary of our dog (Leo) passing away.
He was a good dog and had a good life(14 years). Still feels like we're
missing a family member...

again, my apologies.

Hey folks, perhaps this tangent should angle back towards seat belts a
little, although any (off list) suggestions of how to deal with a dog
who does destructive chewing only when unsupervised would be
appreciated. This dog is young, less that a week out of the humane
society and accordingly doesn't like to be left alone.  I should have
known better to leave him with only one chew toy in my car, but that
does not require much more discussion. I have had dogs in the past who
would happily spend a couple hours sleeping in a car without damage to
either party, (they rather liked the soft seats) 
BTW The dog's name is Leo and there are a few picture of him at 
http://www.engr.orst.edu/~rickert/dog.html 

I wanted to put four point belts in the car anyway, so this is just a
good excuse, if anyone has experience installing them in a street driven
4kq, please let me know. 

thanks again.
