BoDee loves to take rides in the car. The very first thing we did when we got him was go for a ride! He has a few funny mannerisms while in the car though. First off he doesn’t like to get in the car if it’s running, the sound of the engine kinda sketches him out I guess. There’s been a few times where he’s making his way over to get in the car and I’m already in the driver’s seat ready to go, so I start the car. He always takes off running if he’s not in the car before it starts, the sound really freaks him out! Once we’re in the car sometimes he’ll go straight to the backseat and find a sweater to get under, then he’s passed out with one little foot sticking out from under the sweater twitching and shaking. When this happens he’ll normally sleep for the whole drive depending on how long it is. If he’s not snuggled up under a blanket or sweater in the backseat he’s normally in one of our laps. In the lap he could be sleeping or he could be sitting, when he’s sitting there are tons of different things he’ll do. There have been times where I’ll take him in the car somewhere just me and him, and he sits in my lap the whole time…staring at me….the whole time…three inches away from my face. Just…staring… “Hi BoDee…yeah…yeah I see you sitting there…”. Sometimes he’ll hop into my lap and immediately lie down and get comfy, it’s that easy! I think my favorite way for him to ride is on Jonda’s lap, he’ll sit with his butt right on her lap and his left paw reaching out to her left knee and his right paw reaching out to her right knee. And he’ll just watch where we are going. He’ll stare off into the distance and look at cars or whatever is in front of him.
Once in a while he’ll do this thing where he hops in the backseat and puts his hind legs on the back seat, but his front paws on the center console of the front seats. This puts his head a mere 4 or 5 inches away from mine in the driver’s seat, he takes advantage of this whenever possible. That dog has a lightning quick tongue that must be at least a few feet long. At times he’ll decide “maybe I don’t want may back half in the backseat…I wanna be all the way in the front.” So he’ll hop up to the front and sit on the center console. Just sit there, swaying back and forth as we cruise along.
BoDee seems to lose all sense of balance while in the car. Anytime the car comes to a quick stop or any kind of sharp turn, he’s falling all over the place. It’s funny and sad all at the same time. He never topples over slowly, it’s always fine one second and then upside down on the floor in the backseat the next. “You ok little buddy?” he pops up, *snort* “Yeah you’re fine, come up here and take a load off why don’tcha?” *snort*
