Great pics. we have two Labs. One Chocolate and one black.
I took the Choc. home from the vet in my last Z while she had on a large plastic cone on to prevent gnarfing of stitches etc. Needless to say it was amusing having her riding shotgun with that gear on and trying to shift. I never take them in my z otherwise. Fortunately my daily driver is a Pathfinder with adequate room for two hairy nutters.
