Bad Co-Pilot With Even Worse Breath




Like most dogs, Murphy genuinely takes pleasure in going for a ride car.  She doesn’t discriminate on the particulars of our meandering; so long as a visit to the veterinarian is not incorporated into things along the way.


It is not uncommon to see a dog accompanying their owner in a vehicle.  Generally, the scene is easily predicted – the canine, his head enthusiastically poked out of the window, ears flapping as if waving to all whom pass by.


Murphy certainly enjoys reaching out beyond the confines of windows, the cool air fluttering her whiskers as she strains to discern the bonanza of scents all around.  But soon enough, she wisely concludes that such investigative effort is futile, the car simply moves to quickly for her otherwise keen snout to keep up. 


Hell-bent not to be denied, Murphy’s next course of action usually involves her taking a spot as my co-pilot, albeit not a very good one.


She really seems to take pleasure in our little arrangement, which affords her optimal sighting, while I support her head and massage her ears.

If only I had it so good.
