Car safety!

First of all my dogs are crated when they travel with me 99.9% of the time. Well, today I took Sage along because she was sitting at the door waiting to go to work with me...poor decision as I have 2 kennels borrowed out and a 3rd stored in my garage that wasn't ready to go...yes I still took Sage and I had her leash belted into the back seat. About 10 minutes into our trip 4 deer came out of nowhere...1 to my left, one to my right and 2 directly in front of me:( I gently slammed on the brakes as I wasn't sure how icy it was and luckily the deer finally went in the ditch BUT not before Sage ended up on the floor. This could have been much worse if I had hit one but I guess luck was on my side and Sage was fine...just a reminder of how important crates or dog restraints are to keep our 4 legged ones safe:)

Comment by Jane Christensen on January 21, 2014 at 8:56am: Thanks everyone... This stretch of road almost always has deer along side it just not on the road. I can't imagine hitting such a big beautiful creature. I have hit several raccoons as they dart out from the ditch but a deer is such a beautiful big animal...plus would do much more damage:(

Not only can your dog be hurt but in a high speed crash your corgi can become a missile that can kill you flying from the back seat to the front.
