As a young pup, my dog shadowed me everywhere.....empty the dryer, take out trash, etc. Now that she's past 14, she just lays on the couch and follows me with her eyes. Ever-vigilant!
Never. I only take it out when I know I'm going thru a drive thru. In this case, breakfast every Monday. Besides, If someone thinks they can get in my truck with her sitting there, they can give it a shot and see what happens.
