My Prius Mood Ring…

I'm more impressed that you got them into your avatar, though just barely! :wave:

 

ahh you have discovered how the Prius works. and you are right, it does take very little effort to get into the low 50's... but that can be compromised easily by impatience and temper tantrums.

the real challenge is beating the EPA and yes it can be done.

I love your avatar, you should have posted a full size pic in the dog pic thread!!

 

Prius as a Biofeedback device. Better than the watch that Jackie Gleason wore in the Smokey and the Bandit sequel that had him chanting OOOHHHMMM... :lol:

By the way we also got our two Goldens in the back seat too. Tried with the seats down but they didn't have enough head room so left the seats up and made a board out of 1/4 inch pressboard (less likely to damage the plastic parts) to help cover the back foot well area and give them more room.

How did you manage the 2 golden feat?

 

jc... wouldnt that be 8 golden feet??


hehehe

 

Golden retrievers are nice dogs. I'm mainly a cat person, but if I had to have a dog, I think a golden would be my first choice.

 

Daniel,
Got 2 cats too!!!

 

That is one fat cat. I had to give up cats. I developed a very bad allergy to cats. I can't stay in a "cat house" (god I love doing that!) for more than an hour before my eyes swell shut. Our last cat (Mycroft) was a great cat. He would sleep on the Newf chests. Our male Fred at that time loved that cat. He would sleep on the Newf and purr. It was amazing to see.

 

What a shame to be allergic to animals, particularly cats. They say if you live with pets as a kid you are less likely to develop allergies. Would you say that is true...were there cats in your childhood?

The fat cat's name is Thomas. He was rescued from a humane society 14 years ago. He passed away last spring of cancer at the age of 15 yrs. I miss him a lot. His personality was more like a dog's than a cat's at times. He loved to be around people. He also loved to go for walks with us in the neighborhood. He walked like a bulldog, with a swagger. He had a great attitude - a great companion.

We recently rescued another cat, Oscar. He is young (about a year and a half), playful, and very affectionate, which is perfect for our 5 year old daughter.

My parents had a Golden, which passed away a few years ago. Wonderful dog, great with young children. I am tempted to get one, but they are so big.

 

I curious about the back-seat big-dog issue. I have two big dogs (see http://www.priuschat.com/forums/viewtopic....t=4191&start=2) but no Prius yet. My plan was to put the seat down and put an old rug or blanket back there for them. But jchu writes that there's not enough head room with that arrangement but TCD says there is. Any further thoughts about this?

Give Da Boyz a scritch for me!

 

My wife felt they had to duck too much when we had the seats down and that it was too hard for them to get in as well. But that is just her. Both are 8 years old and Daisy has a fair amount of arthritis now in her left hip. There is at least one poste picture an PC though with a Mastiff in back!!!

 

OK here it is "Big Dogs in the Prius" BTW Big dogs are Newfs black and white not black white and brown.
