Chuck, the picture of your pups taking over your seat reminds me of a time I experienced the same thing, but no where near as pleasant.

I was wedged into an old Econoline van with three others & a volcanic dog named Spider. He was an 80lb Dobie that was poorly socialized. We were headed to Billings, Montana from San Antonio. It was the dead of winter & I was not having a good time. I had contracted some monster case of the flu & I laid in the back of the van in a nest that I had constructed , hoping to die. The Rocky Mountains came into view, & everyone told me I should sit up & look at them. As I said, I was hoping to die & didn't care about the scenery, but after a lot of pressure, I did sit up & look, giving Spider the opportunity to steal my place. I told him to move, but he wasn't about to as he finally had a chance to lay down. I decided to just start laying down & he would get the message & move. I was wrong! In a split second he was on all fours, barking & snarling about two inches from my nose. Quite sobering. The driver hit the side of the highway & put Spiders muzzle back on, & while he was doing that I got my nest back. Obviously, I've never forgotten it.:eek::cool::D

That's funny stuff right there my friend.:D:D
I don't have to worry about that with these two.
I tell em' to hop out and they do.
A little easier to do with a Dachsund and a Shiz.

They know Dad is the one who gives out the treats !!

Still up at 02:00, now I'm listening to The Supremes on the computer. No hoards seen at this time but who knows what the night hides from our eyes. They could be anywhere or everywhere.

I seem to be talking to myself again, I think it is getting to be a habit. At least when I talk to myself I know what I am talking about. Well most of the time anyway. And I usually get good answers, usually but maybe not always. This seems to be getting weird maybe I should try sleeping again.

Yup... today was chemo day. They give me a steroid that really gets me jacked up & feeling good.... until the crash.

Gotta be back in the AM for a shot of white blood cell booster. That works though because I'm in and out & usually hit the stores & maybe a gun shop or two on the way home.

I can take the dog with me as well. That's always a plus. :D
