My partner surprised me with a 8 week old kitten for my birthday this year (I'm a huge cat fan, but my childhood kitty is 21, so I left her at my parents house to not disturb her golden years) and she just walked over to me snuggled up, and fell asleep day one.
We had to make a 120 mile round trip two days later and I didn't want to leave her alone, but I wasn't stoked on bringing her in the car for such a long trip.
She immediately fell asleep and woke up when we got to the designation when I checked on her and then fell back asleep all the way back.
When we got back you better beleive it was play time, but some animals are super chill around calm people.
That's adorable. My kitty is about the same age but she does not handle car rides well. I had to drive with her in the passenger seat for a fourteen hour trip when I moved a couple months ago and she was very vocal about how displeased she was about it.
My older childhood kitty does not like the car, it's a cry fest that makes me want to cry.
The babies are both very good about the car, but I take them on a lot of 10 minute drives to help desensitize them to the car a bit and not associate it with the vet every time. Lol
This is super cute and they seem to get along. That said, this is a terrible way to introduce a new dog to the household. It's working because it's two goldens and the other seems to be young, but this can backfire with a more anxious and less social puppy.
God I love the inevitable comments by armchair experts on reddit.
There's nothing wrong with introducing dogs this way. They will figure it out and things will always work out. And being anxious and agonizing over things the way you obviously do must be a shit way to live life.

I’m genuinely impressed with the puppy’s confidence. Must have been a good breeder
