My dog does this every time we're in the car. I had to get a wagon with a built in dog gate recently. Before that my drivers seat was always covered in fur when I stepped out, never fail!
My big Shepherd mix, Cookie, does that. She also rides in the passenger seat like a person, it amuses everyone while we are out running errands together!
Well that certainly made me smile. Thanks Joan. You have a great week as well. I was out and about this weekend and laughed every time I saw a wreath on a door (so that was a lot of laughing). Only in New England!!
Dylan dog likes to drive too and even leans on the steering wheel with his paws until the truck beeps at him. Otherwise it's in his seat with the seatbelt on!
I didn't realize Ella was sixteen! After watching news coverage of the high school shooting here in N.E. Ohio this morning, this made my day. Thank you, Joan and Ella. Sara
So sweet. We had a toy poodle for 17 1/2 years. One day I was bringing her home from the groomer and stopped to drop a movie into the drop box. Got out of the car, was dropping the movie in the box and heard a CLICK!! She had locked the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to call my hubby at work, to come and let me into my car:):) Thanks for the smile and the memory. XO, Pinky
Ella's a riot. Bella has to sit in the back seat, because she sheds too much...and I don't think she meets the height requirement to sit in the front. Best...Victoria
Our collie is the only dog I know that doesn't jump willingly into the car for a ride. He has to be coaxed, prodded and with a boost from the rear. Rediculous! Ella's got it together!
Awesome! :) A M brought lots of smiles throughout her life to myself and many others doing the exact same thing! Thank you for the joyful smile and darling photo of sweet, beautiful Ella!
Cute! Does she jump to the back when she spots you coming? We have a new dog(Gus)and he sits in the driver's seat until he see's us, then darts to the very back as if to say "nothing going on here". Michelle
I stumbled upon your blog...and I can't tell you how happy I am that I did! My fiance and I up and moved from Southern California to Northeast KANSAS in less than 3 weeks(we're crazy, I've already told him if we ever move again, minimum move time of a month is needed!)! Northeast Kansas, contrary to popular belief, is very heavily wooded and hilly. And like you, we have truly enjoyed the beauty of fall, a season we had never really LIVED in before, it's now my absolute favorite season. And the people are genuine. So kind a friendly, I never want to go back to living somewhere that does not feel like HOME. I think you and I feel the same things about our new adopted states. I went ALL the way back and read from the beginning, and I have fallen in love with how you have made your house a home. I look forward to keeping up with you and your home, and your sweet Ella. We also have a rescue dog, Deuce, who was a Daddy's girl before I came along, but we have won each other's hearts, and she makes my heart happy. Best to you, And thank you, Mallory

Ella is so darn cute, and talented, I might add!
ReplyDeleteElla's a riot. Bella has to sit in the back seat, because she sheds too much...and I don't think she meets the height requirement to sit in the front.
ReplyDeleteBest...Victoria
Very cute.
ReplyDelete....our white boxer does this too! Every time I get out, she moves over to the driver's seat. So many people have commented on how cute it is.
ReplyDeleteSoo cute, Ella is a love!
ReplyDeleteHorsepower? Dogpower!
ReplyDelete4-wheel drive? 4-footed drive!
I don't have a dog, but my cat's favorite seat was the dashboard - front-seat-driver!
Joan, Dan, and Ella: Precious; Cindy. P.S.: Ella has great taste in her shopping...well trained! Cindy

ReplyDeleteI really can't tell you how much I love this! It made me smile:)
ReplyDeleteElla is an excellent driver!
ReplyDeleteOur collie is the only dog I know that doesn't jump willingly into the car for a ride. He has to be coaxed, prodded and with a boost from the rear. Rediculous! Ella's got it together!
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone calling Ella a dog??? She is a little girl in a puppy coat!

ReplyDeleteI needed Ella to start this week. We had a rough weekend. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteCute! Does she jump to the back when she spots you coming? We have a new dog(Gus)and he sits in the driver's seat until he see's us, then darts to the very back as if to say "nothing going on here". Michelle
