We can't afford much this year so Oobie is getting a super long lasting toy for her bday (glow in the dark dumbell that squeaks) and we have spent a little extra on a dog rug for her to sit on in her new car -its the hammock style and looks a bit like this but made from a different material. We thought about getting just a normal pet seat protector, but realised that wouldn't protect the back of the front seats from her hair (and our new interior is black) - last time she rode in it, with a sheet down - the inside of the car still turned brindle.
Its water proof and has a new design that the pet shop owner was even impressed with as he has the older version !!
I feel bad that she won't get as many toys as last year - but thats how its going to have to happen, and I am sure her nanny and poppy will make sure there is something in her stocking when we go down there for xmas.
