Mom and I have been out walking a bit more. The weather has been perfect Bergamasco weather - cool, crisp, sunny. The wonderful temperature has brought back a spring in my step. I feel younger, more alive. It's like I can see every squirrel and they are dancing and running just for my amusement. The other day at Nate's mom's house, her cat Tuck was playing a marvelous game of hide and seek with me. I think Tuck could feel how exciting this weather is too. I guess I was getting a bit overzealous and I ended up in the car. Now, normally, I love my time in the back seat, watching the sights, or sitting in the quiet. But I could hear Tuck mocking me from afar. Between that mischievous autumn air and the smell of my friend Tuck, I decided climbing out of the car was the only reasonable choice. I had to think about it, puzzle it out. I moved into the driver's seat and from there squeezed myself as flat as possible and the next thing I knew I was out, free, wild, chasing Tuck. I was actually pretty proud of myself and ran up to the back porch to say hello to everyone, but I misjudged Mom's reaction. I ended up back in the car with all windows up and an open sunroof, with Mom muttering, "If he can figure out how to climb out of the sunroof, I'll want to shoot video of that for YouTube." In other words, they were impressed with my ingenuity but not so much with my behavior. Oh well, what's a dog to do? At least while I was in the driver's seat I got a good look at the controls. I think pretty soon I'll be able to start that car on my own. I just need a cat to work the peddles........
