There are several times when we are leaving the house that Jenna and I will slip out the back door to avoid taking Bonnie with us. It’s nothing against the dog – it’s usually just an inconvenience to take her when we’re just going to the store or the church. I have taken Bonnie with me a few times when I picked Jenna up from seminary. This morning I allowed Bonnie to come with me.
Oh, that was a fun ride (not) as
Bonnie whined for the most part.
Believing she had to relieve herself, I opened the back door as soon as
I parked in the church parking lot. She
ran out and towards the building. I
could see her looking through the door.
Class was out and everyone was waiting for their rides. I figured at least one of them would see
Bonnie and Jaime would come out – which she did. Only when she opened the door and came
outside, Bonnie went inside.
“People! People!
I like people! Let me climb on top of you and lick your face.”
Jenna rescued her seminary
instructor whom Bonnie had decided to befriend.
We then took Bonnie to the dog part for just a few minutes so she could
get whatever wildness inside of her out of the car – which I guess she
did. The return ride was so much better.
We took Bonnie for a walk later on –
or rather, Bonnie took Jenna and I followed – our usual routine. Bonnie is still a sweet dog.
