We probably hit an all time low today, or did we? This afternoon we went out and bought a car that is more suited to the dogs than it might be for ourselves, or maybe not!

It's not that Archie has his Driving License, yet, although he does have a pet passport, but squeezing him into the boot of the RW's Fiesta was a bit of a task, and Archie never really liked it too much. The same goes for my Honda, which had a lot more room, but was getting ruined by muddy wet dog. The other two, Toastie and Peanut had been "promoted" to the back seat on both cars with the inevitable dog hair/mud scenario creeping closer and closer to the driver!

So, out we went this afternoon to trade in the Fiesta against an Archie Car. Now is obviously a good time to buy second hand vehicles and we got a great, in fact brilliant, deal from Arnold Clark on a black Vauxhall Zafira. It's a 7 seater, which means that it will be useful for parish stuff and going in small groups to Cursillo meetings, but when the back seats, or third row of seats, are folded down there is masses of space for three dogs to lie out and sleep on the way home from the Big Walkies!

This will now become my wheels for during the week, and I'll get my Honda back for evenings and weekends. Archie is happy, the RW is happy, I'm over the moon, (I hated the Fiesta with a vengeance), and the salesman maybe reached his monthly target today!

Roll on Monday when we pick it up, although how the three dogs get on together in the space on long journeys remains to be seen.
