Joy-Riding in the Car

My top human is always leaving lately, driving around the lesser humans. And I'm getting so-o lonely.

Yesterday, she grabbed my LEASH and said I could come too!! Oh boy! I love going out!

Maybe we will go to the BEACH. I love the beach, there's lots of OTHER DOGS to sniff, lots of trees to mark, and when I get thirsty, I can go down to the lake and get a drink!

Maybe we will go the to PARK. I love the park. Lots of great places to sniff & mark. And I always meet a new dog friend or two there.

Maybe we will go the PetSmart! There's dog treats there, and dog food, and dog toys, and dog beds, and other dogs to meet!

Oh no, I hope she's not thinking of buying me a Halloween costume!? How embarrassing!

But no-o-o, we don't do anything fun!

One of the lesser humans forgot his lunch, so she drove to his school, handed his lunch to him, let me sniff around a bit & mark in this new place, and we had to get back in the car.

Then she goes home and makes herself some lunch too. What about me? What about this poor hungry dog? Ah, a treat for me!

9:30AM and NO treat!

When my top human got up this morning to go in that little room, I jumped off the bed, eager to go out & do my business too, so I could get my morning treat. Instead, she calls down to one of the lesser humans to let me out.

Well, I did my business and race back upstairs for my morning treat. She goes back to bed! I was patient, I curled up on the bed, waiting, napping. So patient.

But by 9:30, I'd had enough. I started whimpering, I needed my treat! She looks at me, and foolishly asks me, "What's wrong?" Well, it's 9:30AM, I stare back, and I have no treat!

You would think that would be enough, but no, she just laughs and talks to the other human. Then she has to go into the little room, and stand under the falling water. She has to put on her body fur, brush her head fur, and make the bed! I was so insulted, I didn't even help by doing my "happy dog" on the bed.

Finally we go downstairs - I almost didn't go down with her, I was so frustrated. But in the end, with the knowledge that a treat was finally coming, I raced down the stairs.

Then the final indignity - she makes me go out AGAIN before she will give me my treat!

Ah well, now the other human is making breakfast!! Mmm...
