We’re off to Kläppen for some skiing.

Nysse does not like long car rides. He especially does not like being boxed in inside his crate. This time I let him sit outside the crate but on a harness and leash, and the leash tied to the seat, so he couldn’t climb around just anywhere, or go flying freely in case of an accident. He was still vocally unhappy – until I let him climb up on the luggage behind us. Later I pushed up the headrest to provide him with more protection – and there he stayed, all the way. There was still some yowling, but on the whole he was much more content than during previous trips.

For next time, I’ll get him a better harness, though. This one was meant as a secondary means of containment, not as a safety belt.
