A Funny Thing Happened on the Way Home...

So, I guess I knew my dog was never very smart, but this time he really surprised me. He managed to fall out of my backseat-window while I was driving 30mph down the road. Emi and I were heading back from picking him up from one daycare parent's house where he had been for the duration of my grad party. Riley really likes to stick the front section of his paws out the window, as well as his head, when he's in the car. He was doing that, like normal, out my half-open back windows. Then I see him put the rest of his legs out the window, resting on the little ledge of car door just beneath the window. I'm watching him, thinking, "Riley!!! Get back in there." I even shouted at him to get back, but he's a dog and doesn't really understand English that well. Then I see him start sliding down my door, and I'm just thinking, "CRAP!!!" I can't roll up the window or anything or he'd end up stuck half-in, half-out my window, hanging from my car. The best I could do was watch as he slowly slid and ended up falling out, then slamming on my brakes and my hazards. Emi got out quickly to round him up and put him back in the car as I rolled the windows all the way up then. A car pulled up behind us (we were in the middle of the road at this point) and they were laughing to see Emi putting Riley back in the car. Finally we got back on the way, and my dog seemed none the worse for wear, so we were relieved. Now we have a story about how stupid my dog really is.

  2. Yeah. I have no idea what possessed him to put his entire front half out the window.
