Dogs and public transport


Tooheys had reason to put the London public transport system to the test this weekend when we had to head across to Essex for the night before heading to pick up the new car.
What a strange experience for us both! And not one Im sure Tooheys wants to experience again any time soon, but Im so impressed by how well he took it in his stride.
To start we had the loong bus trip on a bus that was jam packed full with strange passengers and screaming babies and continous stopping and starting. Upon boarding he initially panicked but then settled himself under my seat and lay perfectly still for the next hour..it took 10 minutes for one person who sat down next to me to even realise he was there!
From the bus and onto the underground. He wasnt overly impressed by being carried through the turnstyles but otherwise was mostly unphased. Again he didnt like the grinding noises with the train stopping and starting but didnt put up too much fuss.
And finally onto the overland train.. which he seemed to think was luxury in comparison!


The final verdict? Well I dont think Tooheys will be championing the public transport system any time soon, but he does think the new dog mobile (aka car) is far superior to our old one which made it all worth the trip..as do I!
