I bring my dog on truck rides when she escapes out the front door of my house without a leash. I open the passenger door and she hops in. Easiest way to re-subjugate her. Else she just taunts me by staying just out of my reach. ( She’s an 8 year old brat.) I always give her the ride after luring her in. She loves those short trips, riding shotgun.
@phendrick I was taking my Older Dog (15 Now) to my Mom’s one day, and he knew it, but the trip became unnecessary so I turned around and parked in driveway… He looked at me… Like, I don’t think so! He refused to get out of my Truck… Seriously. I had to get a hold of him and remove him. They are so smart… When I was going to work, (In Scrubs) he would look at me from the end of the Hall kinda sad, then when I had street clothes on, he was all over me to go with… Gotta Love em.
Home. Pretty old and crippled up. Just trying to make his remaining days happy. His playmate took a one way trip to the vet several months ago. Now when I see him sitting by the gate in the rain I wonder if he’s still waiting for his buddy to return.
@tweezak My Old Boy is getting ready for that same damned trip… He is having trouble getting up, like his hips are atrophying overnight. Isn’t walking that well. Plus it seems like a little Doggy Dementia at times… God needs to help them live longer, so worth the Daily Joy, but so hard to let go. I wouldn’t trade that Joy for the World. XOX
To exchange it for a cat.
@yakkoTDI Darn straight!
/showme exchanging a dog for several real cats
@mediocrebot That’s a hefty exchange rate there, bot.
@mediocrebot @therealjrn Agreed, they should add two more cats and a maid to clean the litter boxes to make that more of a fair deal.
/showme why dogs are way cooler than cats

@mediocrebot Amazingly close, except it’s usually at night and she’s looking out the window to the right as we drive around the neighborhood.

her favorite place is the beach. a walk by the river she can jump in is a close second. anywhere she can frolic off leash makes us both happy.
@spacemart That’s cool you make her so happy! What about your dog tho?
