yeah i always put her favorite blanket in the car and she seems to do better. she is getting better now that it is getting warmer too--putting more of her head out the window (in the cold she only puts the tip of her nose out--she's a wuss).
Any chance you think it is the trauma from the car for ours? she was fine on the 7 hour car ride home from Cleveland, so we wonder if she thinks we are taking her back or something. She is always fine on the ride home, but she freaks out on the ride to anywhere. Also--i make sure not to feed her until we get home so she doesn't have a full belly or anything. Maybe its just a breed thing.
I am sure the humane society never put her in a car too often either...you're probably right about starting as a puppy but she is a rescue so we didn't have that luxury..
