For some reason, we find joy in watching Kona stick her head out the window, close her eyes and let the ears flap.

I always laugh when driving by other vehicles with their beloved pooch out the window. Maybe that's why we let Kona do it. Joy.

That night, Kona recounts the events of the day to her friend, the stuffed triceratops:

"....so she was all, 'Kona, ya wanna go for a ride?', and I was all, 'Heck yes, I do, is that even a question?' We didn't even drive long enough for my tongue to dry out before she stops the car, gets out, and walks away, totally leaving me there with my head hangin' out the window like some kind of poodle. Jerk."

Dogs can fall asleep anywhere - a trait I wish I possessed... especially on airplanes.
