Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Dear Amazon, I used to be able to jump all over the car whenever my dad took me for a ride. But then one day I accidentally bonked the baby and my dad said he was getting a "barrier" so I wouldn't do that anymore. I didn't know what a "barrier" was, so I just assumed it was food. Not only did your shipment arrive a day earlier, but it was definitely not food, even more to my disappointment. I had some entertainment as my dad puzzled over the directions. He said something about poorly-illustrated diagrams and used a few uh-oh words, but when he was done, I didn't like the way this looked. He went out to our Jeep Patriot, and after about 5 minutes came inside and put my leash on and told me we were going bye-bye in the car. I LOVE THE CAR!!! MY FAVORITE THING!!! He loaded me in the cargo area... Ha! Like I'm going to stay THERE! -Except now this "barrier" thing was sitting right against the backseat. Dad stopped the car and hopped out to pump gas. Much to my dismay, I could no longer hop over the seats to scrounge for any cereal or crackers the baby had dropped. Nor could I sit in Dad's seat and pant and drool all over his steering wheel. I'm not an overly-active dog, but it's pretty solidly in place; I don't think I could get past this without weighing an extra 50 pounds and making a serious effort. *sigh* all those crackers are just going to go to waste when Dad vacuums out the car now. I hate this barrier, but for what it's worth, my dad likes it... although he said the instructions could have been better. Because they made him say a few uh-oh words, I decided to give this 4 stars instead of 5. -Max the dog PS: Is it possible for me to exchange this for ham?
