I Want a New Dog

 

We have a great dog. He's very loyal and loves to cuddle. He can walk backwards over any threshold. But there are a few things he chooses not to do. He refuses to fetch. He refuses to walk to certain places.

But here's the deal. Today I saw a dog riding in the front passenger seat of a car. Nothing out of the ordinary there, you say. But this dog had his head completely out of the vehicle almost above the plane of the car's roof and his front leg and paw were hanging about two-thirds of the way down the door. It didn't look real. It looked out of proportion, but darn mutt was having so much fun. I could almost imagine a huge grin on his mouth.

If a dog like that were offered to me, it would be hard to refuse.
