My Dog Ate My Homewo... i mean Seatbelts
This is quickly devolving into a 'dog blog', but as many dog owners know, the lifestyle shift that occurs when you adopt a new friend definitely gives you something to blog about.
Last night we went to dinner with some friends and were forced to leave NOLA in the car while we ate. We loaded her up with treats, left the windows rolled down and parked not too far from the entrance to the restaurant. We were gone for no more than an hour and upon our return were met with the following sight:
She didn't just chew through one seatbelt, she ripped apart both of the front seat belts. They line those things with Bacon scent?!
I took the car back to the dealer and unfortunately dogs aren't covered under the warranty.
I also learned that SEATBELTS ARE EXPENSIVE!
It's going to cost over $400 to replace the drivers side one (parts, labor, shipping), and slightly more to replace the passenger side one, which it turns out they can't do right away because it's on backorder. I guess there's been an epidemic of dog-eating passenger side seat belts lately.
Onward...
