Key Strategies to Keep Your Dog Safe in the Car

Many dog owners like to have their pals with them in the car, whether that’s a quick run through town or a multi-day road trip.

The downside is that dogs are regularly involved in car accidents which can, at the very least, scare or shock them or cause injuries. Sadly, sometimes, dogs can be seriously injured with broken bones and spinal damage, or even killed. According to an Automobile Association of America survey, only 16 percent of dog owners use proper restraints that can minimize the chances of injury or death to a dog in case of an accident.

If you truly want to be a responsible dog owner, take a look at these eight ways to keep your pet safe when they’re in the car.

1. Keep them in a crate when in the car.

Hard and soft sided crates can be used, but they need to be latched down.

2. Line the crate with blankets.

At least it gives them a soft place to lay down on the way to the park, but it will also provide extra protection in case of impact.

3. Install a back seat barrier.

For bigger dogs and smaller vehicles, a back seat barrier can keep your dog secured safely in the back.

4. Buckle them in with a dog seatbelt.

Yes, there are such things. Yes, they work.

5. Don’t let them hang out of the window.

Your dog may love to do it whenever they are in the car, but it’s not safe in the event of an accident. At the very least, the debris that blows into dogs’ ears when they do this can be very irritating and cause injury and tenderness.

6. Keep your dog in the back seat.

A deploying airbag can be deadly to a dog. They need to stay in the back seat no matter how much you envisioned your boy riding shotgun.

7. Small dogs can use pet car seats.

Car baskets work too.

8. Final safety tips.

Bring along plenty of drinking water and avoid leaving your dog in the car alone. Even with the windows open, cars heat fast.

If you have to run into a shop or a restroom and it’s less than 70-degrees outside, five minutes max should be okay.

The key is to keep your dog restrained, preferably to the back seat, to keep accident-related injuries to a minimum. And, perhaps a more immediate benefit is to let you drive without the distraction of a dog jumping around the car or falling into your lap.

Taking your dog places is fun for them and for you, but keep it safe–restrain your dog.

There’s an Adaptation of ‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’ in the Works

If you’re a female of a certain age, then it’s highly likely that Judy Blume – and Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, especially – was a formative book in your adolescence.

See, we’re from a generation that didn’t get much of a sex talk from our parents. Despite being hippies in their youth, are moms regressed into some kind of Puritan thinking by the time their daughters hit puberty – sex and reproduction was something that happened behind closed doors, that no one talked about, and that good girls certainly didn’t ask about.

⭐⭐ NEW EPISODE ALERT ⭐⭐ . . welcomed dream guest @emmaladyrose for Episode 36, in which — at long last! — we discuss @judyblume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. tune in to hear us swap middle school stories and discuss mean girls, gossip, awkward puberty moments, and how we experienced religion as kids versus how we experience it as adults. ? . . click the link in my bio to listen on @applepodcasts and @spotify or check out www.ssrpodcast.com for more listening options. ? . . #SSRpodcast #podcast #podcastinglife #bookloversofinstagram #amreading #booklovers #bookworm #bookstagram #bookfanatic #igreads #booksbooksbooks #instapodcast #amlistening #podcastinglife #badassbookbabes #freelancer #bookaddict #booksaremylife #bookpodcast #bookaholic #girlswhoread #bookish #instabook #bibliophile #booknerd #kidlit #yalit #bookobsessed #areyoutheregoditsmemargaret

A post shared by Alli | The SSR Podcast (@ssrpod) on

We still had questions, though. We were still getting hair in weird places, we were starting out periods, we were kissing boys and wondering why it felt so good…and Margaret was right there with us, asking those same questions.

It made us feel normal, and trust me, that was a feeling we clung to tightly.

Now, we’re mothers ourselves and I know that I plan to do my best to be open and honest about all of those topics with my kids, but hey – if we can also watch the movie version of Are You There God…together? So much the better!

Back in February, Judy Blume announced that she’s been in meetings about bringing her books to the screen, and that Kelly Fremon Craig, who directed Edge of Seventeen, had signed on to write and direct Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

This is excellent news, as I feel strongly that the story can only be done justice by another woman’s hands.

The film found a home at Lionsgate, where president of production Erin Westerman seems to share our excitement for the project.

“This title was an anthem when we first read it as teens, and it remains timeless and relevant because nothing has captured the coming-of-age experience with the same authenticity, truth, and respect.

For that reason, Judy Blume is a beacon for women and girls.”

Craig agrees; in fact, she reached out to Blume more than two years ago because she felt she was the right person to helm the project. She’s described reading the story as “a rite of passage for women and girls. Women remember were they were when they read it. I can’t think of another book you can say that about.”

Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret has been both praised and banned in the sixty years since its publication, with many feeling that its frank discussion of all things puberty and religion isn’t appropriate for its intended audience.

For some of those reasons, Blume has said she never wanted to see a film version happen.

“For years, I never wanted to see Margaret adapted.

Even when I went out to LA, I thought, ‘Nobody can do Margaret.’

And by the end of the week, I was like, ‘Wait a minute. I would love to see Margaret done well. Why not? What I am waiting for? I’m 80 years old. If I want to see it, I better hurry up.”

Lionsgate and Craig seem like excellent choices, and in an era of honest teen movies, the atmosphere seems perfect for an entrance by the OG angsty teenage girl.

Mused Craig,

“There’s something so timely and full of truth and I remember for me at that age, it felt like a life raft at a time when you’re lost and searching and unsure.

This book comes along and tells you you’re not alone.”

Yes. Exactly that.

And even though nothing will ever replace the feeling of reading Blume’s words for the first time, it would be awesome and surreal to hear them in Margaret’s voice, too.

Luckily, we’re all about to have the opportunity to do just that.

Here Are a Bunch of Stupid Things That Can Only Exist Thanks to Stupid Stupidity

George Carlin once said, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” I had that quote ringing through my head the other day as I was temping at a government office. Turns out I’m not the only person who’s had dumb on the mind lately.

Reddit user Gleico took to r/AskReddit to pose a simple question:

What only exists because of people’s stupidity? from AskReddit

I guess even things that get created for stupid reasons are still creations, so we should give credit to those that inspired/necessitated them. The thread has over 25 thousand comments featuring examples of such things.

1. A lot of them are warning labels.

The warning on strollers, “Do not collapse while infant is seated”

– MarkOfTheRagon12

2. Or disclaimers that nobody needs.

The fucking message on my in dash display on my Honda Fit.

YES I KNOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION OF THIS MOTOR VEHICLE.

Imagine the car not telling me that every time I start it, me getting in an accident, and suing Honda for NOT telling me that I’m responsible for the car I’m driving?

– ChuckawaspSlanders

3. Apparently people think we’re already living in the world of ubiquitous self-driving vehicles?

In the user manual for RVs it specifies that the driver must remain in the drivers seat at all times when the RV is in motion because someone thought that cruise control was auto pilot and went to take a shower while on the freeway and crashed.

– TimeMasterBob

4. A real medal of honor is doing something so awful you get a law made, just for you.

The law in Pennsylvania that specifically states that you can not barter infant children

– MostlyFuckedUp

5. But stupid can create in much more subtle ways too.

Meetings that could have been emails

– Jenn_097

6. *cough* toilet paper *cough*

Panic buying

– mooli1978

7. Don’t forget conspiracy theories!

The anti-vax movement

– _Caramel-Kitty_

8. Of all the warning labels, this is a favorite:

“Warning may contain nuts” warnings on packets of nuts

– ConnorA94

9. A few users even brought delightful pictures for show and tell:

This sign at the London Lutlon airport

– Bran_Solo

Photo Credit: Reddit

10. I had to stop what I was doing for about three minutes to laugh at this last one:

This was in front of a catholic school I did some work on.

This is not the only tree in the area, it’s not even the only tree in front of a parking space.

How did this sign come to be? The world may never know.

– Mok0bo

It’s a real comfort to my ego to know that, while I’m pretty stupid, at least I’m not “doesn’t know what a tree is” stupid. So I got that goin’ for me. Which is nice.

What things come to mind when you think about this question?

Tell us in the comments.

Pictures of Cats That Should Make You Smile

There are typically more “dog people” than “cat people” in the world. Reasons cited are generally along the lines of “Cats are mean, they’re indifferent, they don’t listen.” But as a person who’s had cats most of my life, I respond to that with a hearty “You are absolutely correct.”

HOWEVER. That’s not the end of the story. As any cat owner will tell you, they can also be sweet, and cuddly, and playful, and adventurous, and hilarious, and also, yanno, incredibly cute. That’s probably why since the dawn of the internet we’ve been using this amazing technology to show each other unsolicited pictures of our cats. Let’s look at some of those from around the web now!

12. Thunder Buddies

“Watching a friend’s cat. There’s a thunderstorm outside. I’ve been like this for an hour.”

Watching a friends cat, there’s a thunderstorm outside. I’ve been like this for a hour. from aww

11. Throw that cat in a circle

“I just threw my belt on the floor.”

Threw my belt on the floor. Trap working as intended. from TheCatTrapIsWorking

10. Closer to sun = better naps

“My cat managed to climb through the skylight and just proceeds to sit there, 70 feet above the ground.”

My cat managed to climb through the skylight and just proceeds to sit there, 20 meters above the ground. from IfIFitsISits

9. If only he could read

“Loafing on his designated chair”

Loafing on his designated chair from Catloaf

8. The heat miser

“Kieran sitting right above our heating unit, blocking the warm air… Don’t worry, I made sure it wouldn’t burn his little toe beans!”

If I fits, I sits in the warm spot. Kieran sitting right above our heating unit blocking the warm air (don’t worry, I made sure it wouldn’t burn his little toe beans!) from blackcats

7. “Am loaf. Close door.”

“There’s a loaf in my fridge! He climbs in every time I start to cook, and I let him hang out there because it’s hot and he’s always wearing that thick furry coat.”

There’s a loaf in my fridge! He climbs in every time I start to cook, and I let him hang out there because it’s hot and he’s always wearing that thick furry coat. from Catloaf

6. It’s dangerous to go alone, take me

“First day back to work in a little over a week of hanging with him every day, he wouldn’t stop meowing until I let him climb up my body to be my scarf.”

First day back to work in a little over a week of hanging with him every day, he wouldn’t stop meowing until I let him climb up my body to be my scarf. from aww

5. Beware…

“During yoga I look up and see this! My cat watching me… ”

During yoga I look up and see this! My cat watching me… ?? from AnimalsBeingDerps

4. He’s just letting it all sink in

“Took my cat to the vet.”

Took my cat to the vet from aww

3. Showered with affection

“My cat’s favorite place to sleep is now the shower, right after we use it. But i have to put a towel down first so she doesn’t get her polydactyls wet!”

My cat’s favorite place to sleep is now the shower, right after we use it. But i have to put a towel down first so she doesn’t get her polydactyls wet! from cats

2. Is a space suit

“I think someone’s got the wrong bed…”

I think someone’s got the wrong bed… from aww

1. Fill the bowl. I’M the bowl.

“If Dash fits…”

If Dash fits… from WhatsWrongWithYourCat

I think I read somewhere once that looking at cats lowers your blood pressure. I don’t know if that’s true because after looking through that gallery I’m actually feeling super anxious not being able to PET THE VERY CUTE CATS.

Do you have a cat? What’s your favorite thing about them?
