Dingo addicted to rides in Car.
Our cattle dog mix is just priceless. She knows exactly when we're going out in the car. Not just the obvious jingle of keys. When we get dressed in the morning, no response. I work from home so I'm pretty casual (shorts n teeshirt). Wife gets dressed up for work. Still no response. BUT. If I change into a collared shirt or put pants on. BINGO, she's running around wagging the tail and vocalizing her excitement about the in-her-mind impending car ride. Regardless of other conditions, if I lock the sliding glass door in the kitchen she KNOWS. We're going out. If she see's me grab my wallet. She KNOWS. Just priceless. Heartbreaking is when she's waiting in the Foyer and having to tell her she's not coming and looking at the big brown puppydog eyes she displays when she KNOWS she's not going. She gets plenty of car rides to the dog park, errand runs and weekend trips. Just it feels so bad to leave her at home sometimes. -- wintermute |
