My lab (Manny)...my copilot can't fit in my SL anymore...

He is just shy of a year old and is 80lbs...I tried to drive the SL with him in the front seat and he is just too big plus the drooling was getting to be a problem...

PS I never thought I would have a dog in my house but now he is just a fixture...that seems to eat anything.

Manny is a very handsome fellow. I think he wants to go for another ride in that beautiful SL65 of yours with the top down of course.

Your lab is sweet , but personally, If I were a dictator, To put a lab in a luxury car will be punished by 4 years in jail, With one additional year per drop of dog drool on the leather.Between this and the guy who put a Christmas Tree on the top of his SL whthout protecting the paint...

That's a good looking lab. My two labs only go in the Tahoe, but I am sure they would love a convertible.

Absolutely.

I was always told,that Dog must never go were the humans seat. No dog on the bed, no dog on the sofa.

The dog must always be Fed after the humans have eaten.

Those are the basic rules of dog education.The dog must understand that he is inferior to humans.

If you don't do that , The dog will start to act like he is the Home boss.
