I would be standing outside in the miserable wind and snow watching them make a mess of themselves and then have to use napkins and tissues to try to clean them up as best as possible before they came back in the car with us. One of the most miserable car trips ever. It was a 13 hour drive that took more like 20 hours as I recall due to all the stopping for the dogs (they were young puppies).

Ewww, that sounds horrendous!!! Hope they made up for it in personality!
