So you're thinking about getting your granny a van, and she wants one too? Well, here's what I think. I have a granny who owns four dogs (including a black and white Bichon Frise), and she gets very hot in the van (no pun intended). She is constantly rubbing her forehead or dabbing her forehead with her hand across her chest, and I can understand how this is distracting to her dogs. In fact, I wouldn't even let her into the house without some towels, because if one of her dogs decides that he or she doesn't want to stay in the van, you'd be looking at a messy, dirty floor right next to the back door..
