Crisis, Crisis (Don't worry...Penny is fine)

Kari · March 06, 2007, 09:51:02 PM

Penny here...the Princess Mobile has been smooshed! Can you believe it!! :ticked: My mom drives me around in the Princess Mobile and it has to be perfect for me...but when she came home from work today it had a huge smoosh in the side of it! Doesn't she know that is unacceptable for a Princess

??

Kari here...grrrrrrrr.......... Like we need anything else to go wrong!! I was at the post office and as I was leaving a big truck didn't even look and just backed up into the side of my car! Fortunately I had a witness and it is already being processed by the insurance. I will be taking it in Thursday to the body shop. I was so frustrated :ticked:...have you heard of looking before you back up?? So now Penny's Princess Mobile will be a rental car

Oh No! Glad you are OK! And that Penny was not in the car.

Question- do you harness Penny in the car? One of my biggest fears is getting into an accident and having Cookie projectile out the window.

We have a harness for the backseat that attaches to the seatbelt but its really almost too big for her, plus she cries being in the backseat by herself...

Love the license plate by the way. :thumb:

We have one of the car seats that buckles into the seat and than has a strap that you can attach to her harness. It is really great! We have been doing it since she was a baby so she has no problems with being back there by herself. She really likes to ride in Drew's truck that is an extra cab

Here is a picture - don't mind the poodle in it

We love the license plate too. Sorry about the fender bender.

Sorry about the car. At least you had witnesses and will get it fixed.

I love those car seats. My 2 girls are so used to riding in them, they feel lost if they're not in them. I've put Ilsa in the front seat just to pull the car out of the garage and she was stirring around like she didn't know what to do with herself. Here's a picture of Gretchen in hers.

Kari · March 07, 2007, 04:52:06 PM

Penny is the same way - she gets really nervous if she isn't in her seat. Even if I put her on my lap she starts shaking really bad! Here is a picture of Penny in hers when she was a puppy

Delia and girls · March 07, 2007, 05:09:06 PM

Awww! She looks so snuggly and cute! Glad to hear she's doing so well with her back.
