<div>I have one of those hammock style car seat covers for my car, and I LOVE IT!! Seriously, the thing is wonderful! When I first tried to take Joey to PetSmart, right after I adopted him, he went flying against the back of the front seats 2x, in one trip. Haven't had that happen since, Joey likes it, but requested a blankie, as the water proof material wasn't comfy enough on his paws! I've also used this everytime I've done a transport, and the only dog that's ever stepped over it was a long legged black & tan coon hound. I believe that one of the Florida basset rescues sells them, so that could also be another plus on getting one.</div>

<div>As for shoplifting bassets, I've been on the end of that a few times! I took Joey to PetSmart for basic obedience, and one night he tried to steal a sausage roll thing, that I wound up buying, and at our local natural petfood store, he's pretty notorious! He's shoplifted a dried chicken patty (by shoplifting, I mean he jumped up, grabbed it out of the bin, and it was gone before his paws hit the ground!) I offered to pay, and they laughed and said forget it! He also has tried to swipe a salmon roll there more than once. I was told it's "a hound thing," and that one of the people who works there's family has a bloodhound, and everytime they bring him in, he snarfs a salmon roll too. Still, fishing a rather slimy, still wrapped salmon roll out of the mouth of a hound is not something I recomend! Aside from the fact that the basset REALLY wants that roll and you could very well loose a hand in such an endeavor, they stink really bad!! Great for the coat, but your house will wreak like a fish shop for awhile.<br clear="all">
