Dogs Love Trucks

OK, so a Honda Element can hardly be called a truck, but like the old Nissan commercial from the 1990's (Dogs love trucks) dogs seem to like anything with a large cargo area. I believe they are have now been selected after the last 100 years to love automobiles. Maybe the genetic shift happened even before that when boats and covered wagons explored new territories. Bear's expression is typical of his weekend demeanor. He is READY TO GO! Apparently, he can also tell time with some accuracy. On weekend mornings he knows that he will get to go running or snowshoeing with me. He flies around the house nearly wiping out on the Pergo floors. The colder it gets the more spastic he gets.

Tucker, on the other hand isn't big on winter. He still loves the weekend treks through the woods, but as soon as we are home he is ready to park his skinny rear on his bed which has been strategically placed in front of a heater. He appears to melt into the bed as he warms up. Next life I think I want to come back as a well-cared for dog.
