Trust me I know about that one. This was my pitbull the day after I got her from the pound, October of 2007:



She had burns, knife cuts and bite marks all over her body. She was way under weight. She had scabs from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail. She still has the scars to this day.

I paid over $1,000 for the best trainer in Arizona, I give all my dogs the best food (Innova Evo) and all the love I can give. Hell, my wife bought our pitbull a Coach collar and leash (I didn't even ask how much it was but I am guessing more than some of the mods I did on my Scion) becasue she said she needed to be fashionable.

I have not one fear that she would ever bite anyone for any reason because of that. You don't go into a dog or cat rescue situation (or at least you shouldn't) thinking you're getting a perfect animal. Although my dogs are perfect in my eyes, and I think they think I am perfect in theirs. My dogs are with me for the long haul! Glad you're taking care of your cat.

Dogs rule though. Cats drool.

Cheers
Rob

Congrats on saving her!! I know she's glad to have a better life. People just make me sick.

My pup, Frankie, sits in my lap for the most part when she's with me (she's a runt) but the car is REALLY roomy. I've used mine for moving into new apartments and it only took 2 trips to fit all my stuff and my bf's stuff.

my basset hound likes to sit in the front passenger footspace and rest his head on the seat. he found the tallish seat and even taller windows intimidating for some strange reason. other cars he automatically gets on the passenger seat...this one he never even tried.

of course, i'm happy he keeps to the floor-making cleanup that much easier!

Here's my kid. She LOVES the xB. With the seats down and the seat cover thing on, it keeps the car pretty clean. It is the perfect setup and I try to take her on rides whenever possible.

Hi - I've been reading posts for a while, a brand new 2009 xb owner, but one of the reasons I got the xb was for the dogs. Folds flat, put their blankie down, they each get their own window. When we go in a store, they take over the front seats, but I got a gate now to keep the hair to the back. They love their new car. Both 70+ lbs, lab mixes, they have enough room to walk around, lay down, even play with a toy. Buddy sits and watches out the back window!
