Fido’s Freebie Friday Goes Car Shopping

This week has been busy, busy while we’ve been shopping for a car. As I told you about recently, we needed to trade in our 16-year-old Jeep but we had some real restrictions in our search for a replacement:

  1. It had to fit our budget.
  2. It had to have plenty of ground clearance to cross our creek without a problem.
  3. Most importantly, it had to be comfortable for Irie and Tiki, both in terms of getting into the car and riding.

For the past week, we’ve been busy measuring the height of cars and test driving different models. Many dealerships allowed us to bring the cars home both to test the ground clearance and to give Irie and Tiki a chance to give us their input!

We finally made our decision: a 2012 Ford Escape! We signed the papers and traded in our Jeep on Monday then took Irie and Tiki on a mini day trip to confirm what we gleaned from the test drive: four paws up!

fff-300We are looking forward to some fun road trip adventures with Irie and Tiki but, first, it’s time for a new Fido’s Freebie Friday, the weekly blog hop that we co-host with ToDogwithLove.com and AllThingsDogBlog.com. If you are a blogger with a pet-themed giveaway, please be sure to add it below.

Good luck!
