Good stuff Aliqua...
When my boy was about the place--a male Shephard like yours, i too wanted him cumfy in the back...
But i found such attempta needed some extra measures of staying in place, as dirt roads & general 'bushing' it can shift stuff around in the back.
I remember once after a couple hours drive on hard roads & some tools had worked their way under his spot in the back--i felt so bad...!
Having said that, comfort was a secondary thing for him...he was coming with me no matter what...
Im a tradesman, but Somehow he knew when i was going bush, as opposed to going to work...he could tell even when the same esky got thrown in the back.
But on the odd occasion he'd get mixed up, & he would be held up deep in the back of the tray & refuse to get out when i needed to put my barrow in for a days work...
One day i only just made it to work on time to meet the concrete truck because as soon as i got him out he'd fight me & jump back in thinking i was leaving him to go bush...
God i was so mad at him...but now days id give a lot to have him back doing the same annoying thing...
He was a very smart, well trained & obedient, naturally very well behaved & intuitive person in my books...
...even though we clashed as blokes some times...
Its been ten years sincehe's been gone & i still miss him dearly... & im happy for you...
