Read my followup about carrying the pony in my 69 bus...

At least that thing had the big rubber bungs in the floor that let you
hose it out.

My 6-year-old granddaughter likes to call my yellow westy "Spirit"
after the horse in the disney movie of the same color. Nowadays,
though, we often sing "we all camp in a yellow submarine" though I'm
sure that idea isn't original.
