Houdini Dog

Okay, so now I need advice.

Each weekend we pack up the kids

and mike the dog

and drive to p-town to our little shop

I thought it might be good to get a portable crate (lightweight...)

so I did not have to bring the metal one each time

15 minute into the adventure

I hear him wrestling in the crate

but I know he is in there

I zipped it myself

and then I see something in the rear view

Mike

on top of the luggage!

He had smushed his nose a certain way and unzipped it.

We pull over

tie the ends of the zipper together

10 minute later

Houdini dog says hello

and scare the shit out of me

We resolve to keep him in the front as we finish our trip

Mike is thrilled

and the kids think it's hysterical

On Sunday

after have a "gay old time" on the cape

We stop at the x-ass tree shop and

purchase yet another more solid - yet portable crate

with 5 minutes has his nose out and is happily

climbing up to the front seat

kids cackling all the way

moms getting pissed

We but a pigs ear and tie the crate again

mike chews his way out in 5 minutes

35 dollars later

mike is happily being king

up in the front

with his gay mommies

and the kids are in tears of laughter and glee

Lesson: Dogs love the front seat

kids love to laugh at moms

P-town is for the whole family

give into the roller coaster of life

But, as we are going again on Friday

any advice of puppy restraint

or ways to deflect butch embarrassment

at not being able to restrain a tiny cockapoo

are welcome
