Carl came in earlier today from an errand, and our dog, DeeOhGee, came bounding in with him, smiling from ear-to-ear and wagging her tail with extreme delight.
Carl: We just went for a ride. DeeOhGee loves riding.
Me: I know. I take her for rides all the time.
Carl: Well, she likes riding with me best.
Me: That's ridiculous. She loves riding, period.
Carl: Yeah, but I let her drive. She did pretty well until the squirrel ran across the road and then she wanted to plunge the car after it, but I talked her down. Tomorrow, she's going to learn how to parallel park.
Me: Just exactly what is in those new vitamins again?

A woman and man in an office above see it and the woman remarks "Oh, no. Now there'll be cats everywhere." Her coworker looks at her perplexed, but then a series of events happen because of the umbrella, leading to an accident where a milk truck swerves to hit a squirrel, and overturns. Then the cats come to lick up the milk.
But the funniest part was right after the truck narrowly missed hitting the squirrel, the squirrel was panting, clutching his chest as if thinking "whew, that was a close one!"
So I pictured a squirrel narrowly escaping being hit by your dog driving a car.
