‘Rowen’, Our ‘Newfie’, Checking Out Her New Car — & Seems To Approve.

While it (i.e., the Mazda CX-30 I leased last month) will be our back-up car, its main purpose is to be Rowen’s transport. Yes, for the last 7 or 8 years we have had a car for the dogs. Not as crazy or extravagant as it might initially sound. Given our beach access we tend to have very WET DOGS during much of the year — & even in the winter they can manage to get soaked in snow. Transporting wet dogs is messy. Hence, having a car that we are willing to get — & more importantly, stay — dirty.

Yes, this is a brand new car. Hence the three layers of covers in the back (& no, you can’t see the seat cover that is on the folded back seat).

This car is going to be set up like this all the time — or that is the goal. Back seat folded, grill up & multiple protective cars at the back. Rowen appeared to like it. It is the SMALLEST of the cars she is used to. She takes up the entire back space. When I look in the rearview mirror I only see dog. Good job I can use the side mirrors & in a pinch the rearview camera.

It took me over a month to get around to getting all of the back set-up per what I wanted. Finally got it done this afternoon. Now the Mazda CX-30 is Rowen-ready & Rowen-proof.
