WELL THERE YOU GO!!!! Charlie does NOT want to go home and thinks that every turn signal means he is going home. Should have figured out that HE is a riding hound. NEVER turn any corners NEVER go into parking lots NEVER stop LOVING that boy.
Now Prince Charming was the very opposite. Loved to go for the ride BUT Grandma's lap belonged ONLY to him. Of course our other 2 had their private places as well. Faline (as in Bambi's doe) slept on the seat next to her mistress and Cocoa slept between the bucket seats on a raised air pad so she would be able to assist in anything I needed.
A story about Cocoa if you don't mind -- She was a chocolate Lab service dog. I bought her at 11 weeks of age and began training her immediately. One day after she had mastered her ability to ride the cart in WalMart between my feet we went back to the car. Cocoa worked in a guide dog harness as it was the one that gave her the ability to keep me walking forward.
As we left the store and placed all of the groceries in the car, we walked around to the driver's side to load up for the drive home. A black & white (only color for a police car) pulled to a stop behind my car. He jumped out and said "Lady you are NOT driving this van anywhere. Blind people do not have the right to drive." Trying not to laugh too much, I explained that Cocoa was a service dog but not a guide dog. I could see everything completely and he said "Prove it", wrote a note on his hand and made me read it to him. To top it off as his Major went into the store I waved to him as we had been friends already 6 years. The Major was the one laughing because of the officer stopping me. Actually the Major had done this same exact thing. Our picture -- me and Cocoa -- was put in the briefing room so ever officer could read the notation. I kinda missed being stopped but life must go on.
Just had to give my Cocoa a spot of pure pleasure here. Cocoa would even catch money and bring it back to me. She was one special girl. My second angel.
