But.
There is a new Element out that is making me weak in the knees. If Honda didn't make the Element dog-friendly enough (the Element has been in the top ten dog-friendly cars for several years running...) they now have a brandie-new dog friendly package. Once souly a concept car, the canine companion's dream car is now a reality. And I want one. Like, yesterday.This is serious business. I am a firm believer of "have dog will travel," and this particular car is d.r.e.a.m.y. Let's begin with some of the most fab features. There is a recessed bowl that is - oh, wise Honda engineers- spill proof. There is also a rear fan to keep Fido cool while hangin' out in his kennel that fits into the back of the car.
Oh, and he can sleep on his cushioned pet bed while you go over the river and through the woods on your next family holiday travel trip. I especially appreciate the built-in doggie ramp that lowers from the back for aging or less-able dogs. Or any dog, for that matter- let's take it easy on those joints, shall we?But alas, the part that tickles me so, are the floors. My Ellie has rubber floor mats, yes. There is no upholstery on the floors. That is good. But the new, "dog friendly" Ellie has rubber floor mats with a pattern of raised bones on it. Now that is cool. As an added bonus Honda is throwing in poo bags (with handy-dandy dispenser), a collar, leash, and bag. Swag, hooray!
And let us not forget the fantastic ad campaign. What can I say, I am a sucker for personification. Love the fact that the dogs (the ones that are little magazine cutouts, you know the ones...) speak to the Element- and the Element speaks back. Beautiful. I haven't seen it for awhile, but the one where the dog beebops all around the Element, all spazzy- that is my all time favorite. How can it not make you smile?
Alrighty. I'm off to search for the nearest dealership with one of these babies on the lot. Just looking, just looking.
I'm not picky about color, you know.
