I feel for you Duncan. I have a 9 month old boxer and she is already very much part of the family.

So sad, my pepsy (lhasa apso x jack russle) has been coming with me for a year now.  he did wander across the road last week (quiet road) but I had to leave him at home for 4 days to reset (this lasts for a couple of months before he gets cocky and starts crossing the road on his own again)

otherwise he stays with me or runs into the granny's houses for biscuits, lol

he loves coming in the van and gets so upset when he gets left behind, this missus says he "sulks"  and I also miss him.
