Click on Go Advanced (instead of quick post) & select Manage Attachments towards the bottom of the screen. Below all the emoji crap.

Here are two pics of my kiddo & our Snickerdoodle Dog, just because I think it's neat to see how they've both grown! The pics are huge, sorry! Not sure how to size them down a bit.

Try a seat cover. I'm not willing to risk the toenail +leather outcome, It's also easier to throw the cover in the wash than it is to try to keep the seats clean. I keep a large towel under the seat cover, too. Probably a bit of overkill, but there's no harm in another layer of protection.

OMG, that's an adorable couple! They look like best friends forever!

I do use a seat cover. Problem is the dog is only 6 lbs, so I really need to make sure she is tightly secured.

You'd think, but there's a healthy sibling rivalry there. Kid's jealous of dog getting attention & dog's jealous of the kid! I've got to sit between them on the couch so neither's feelings get hurt.

6lbs is a snack sized pupper in my world. My moose-sized cats are 3x your little Pookie . Pics, please.

Get one of those seatbelt straps that attaches to a harness on dog, not expensive at all, and much safer than just on back seat.

An easy way of resizing and photo-editing if you use PC (such as degrees of rotation and shadows, contrast, ...) is through FastStone's shareware programs. https://www.faststone.org/ Not affiliated with them at all, but have been using their 'Photo Resizer' and 'Image Viewer' products for years.

I think Jason and the team like for the images to be max size of 1200 x 900 if I'm not mistaken, but with the Resizer you can set any parameters and it'll keep the aspect ratio the same but take it to the side with the max parameter. Here are examples when I set it to max of 600 x 300 for two of the shared pictures in the thread (and used the Image Viewer to crop out the black bars in Image 1):

It’s not really a good idea to have a dog unsecured in your vehicle.

I transport my dog in a soft (fabric) cage with a bed. Then secure the cage.

I’ve only had her in my truck, not the X3m but will do the same.

Last thing you want is a doggie projectile if you have to slam the brakes or god forbid get into an accident.

Larger dogs can use a harness (around the body) which attaches to the seat belt.

Dog usually drives in a travel crate in my wife’s car. I rarely take her with me in my X3, and if I do then it’s only within our community (20 mph max).

Good to hear!

I worry when I see dogs unsecured with their heads hanging out a window.
