Good one, oldsbear. BuzzCut that is quite something - having all three and that one Bouvier... When you have a chance, I'd love to see a shot of them all from the back looking in - barn doors open.

Amazing crew in there! I've never seen a "Mini Aussie" before, he or she sounds as though she's about as big as my Shetland Sheepdog.

Nice dogs, Buzcut.

This was one of the things my MA showed me when I went through my predelivery inspection. I haven't had a need for it yet, though.

I'm surprised that your Aussie looks taller than your Bouvier, but perhaps it's that wider stance that your Bouvier has? Great shot!

I miss having my three Shelties, but for right now we're set with just the one and his three cats. I love all my animals but I'm really a dog person at heart.

The weather looks great out there on the far left coast. We're in southeastern NY...just above NYC...it's been cold but, thankfully, we have not been hit by the massive ice storm that has knocked out so much of the Northeast.

Weather report over - now back to what will fit in a Clubman.

BRG, what is a waterproof Pelican case? I have an image of a live Pelican in a "case" in the back of your Clubman.

lurch - good for you, glad you're in the Christmas spirit!

Hi folks- I LOVE this thread!

OK, this one takes a little explaining. I am the manager of a food buying club (cooperative) and we (the club) order our food once a month, in bulk. So, the following fits in a clubbie (with room to spare):
1 case organic ginger snaps
1 case 65% chocolate Cacao nibs
1 case 70% chocolate cacao nibs
5# whole bean organic columbian coffee
1# oregano leaf
5# raw sunflower seeds
1 case of 32 oz vanilla yogurt
1# thyme leaf
1# sage leaf
5# pecan halves, shelled
1 case lemon-lime spritzers
1 case mandarin-lime spritzers
2 cases 2 ply toilet tissue
3 # organic dutch cocoa powder
6# white flour, organic
1 case frozen multigrain oat sandwhich bread
2 bottles deoderant

And one pair of cowboy boots needing to be re-souled!

well poo... I can't seem to download the pix- Lady G, if you're out there- would you lend a hand please?! You seem to be quite handy with the techy thangs!
Thanks

Otra, I can't speak for BRG but we have pelican cases- they are these rather large sized , water tight protective cases. We use them to carry scuba gear and also for underwater cameras and such. They actually come in all sizes and shapes.... pretty neat contraption!

3 women, 6 dogs, random agility equipment, 2 large folding crates, one small crate (with dog in it)
The dogs were: 2 Italian Greyhouds (one is in the red crate), 1 Shar Pei-x, 1 Border Collie, 1 Shiba Inu-x, and 1 pug-x. The front seats were taken up by me and the 3rd woman, so the two dogs (shiba-x and pug-x) sitting there waiting to go were added to the madhouse in the back. The Shiba slept on top of the crate with the IG in it, and I have no idea what happened to the pug-x, but he's home now so he was in that car somewhere.
The woman in the passenger seat had all of our bags and dog treats and other random stuff on her lap and around her feet.
It was only 1.5 hr drive each way.

Wow, that would even seem like a lot of stuff for a Ford Expedition!
