I have to ask, Sharon -- does Fred sleep in the back of the pickup or
underneath? We had a 225 lb. St. named Barney -- HIS pickup truck was
an old white Dodge. When he slept in the bed of it the whole truck
vibrated gently from his breathing, which confused people walking past.
When it was really hot, Barney slept underneath until one day he
apparently grew a little more -- & got stuck, until we jacked up one
side to let him out. Poor baby.
