The Prince and I went over to Grandma’s house today for a visit.  Of course I barked my head off when I got there because I just love going over to Grandma’s house.  We went for a walk and then took Grandma out for ice cream.  Here’s a photo of me in the car.  Ruffles 9-13 011 The Prince snapped this photo of me in the side mirror of the car. You can see the camera at the upper right. 

I just love riding in the car, especially with the window open. Now I know there are those who say that it’s not safe for dogs to stick their head out the window, but I say “Pshaw!” (I think I am channeling the Prince’s grandfather with that quote.) Anyway, I have a pair of goggles that I wear when I’m sticking my head out the window at more than, say, 35 MPH. Anything under that really is not an issue, despite what the behavior police say.  You know, in Cuba they don’t have that kind of nanny state. It’s a different kind of nanny state where if you say the wrong thing they will put you in jail for twenty or thirty years, but they won’t bother you for riding in the car without a seatbelt. (BTW, I heard there is a bill pending in the California legislature that would outlaw having a dog in your lap when you are driving, and THAT is the best example I have ever seen as to why the California legislators should be a part-time and unpaid. REALLY, don’t they have anything better to do than persecute poor dogs like me?)  But I digress.  Ruffles 9-13 004Here’s a photo of Grandma at the ice cream store. Cute!   The Prince is getting better at taking pictures under my tutelage.

    Ban on dogs in driver’s laps vetoed.
    Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-California, has vetoed a bill that would fine drivers $35 for sharing the driver’s seat with lapdogs or other animals.
