This is Eddie Ray, as you probably know. What you may not have known is that every day, he rides shotgun in the minivan while I take the kids to school. When he sees the backpacks come off the hooks and on to the kids' backs, he knows it's go time. He's so excited to go that he stares at the door as if it will open itself.
When the door finally opens, he bursts out into the front yard, finds a patch of grass and hops around on three legs, one in the air, peeing on whatever he can on the way to the van. He runs circles around the van until the driver door opens, at which time he takes up his spot in the passenger side. If we open the passenger side, he inevitably goes across to the driver seat, so that's why we let him in on the driver's side.
He's a fixture and a looker. He looks out for anything furry on the way and dutifully notifies us with a few bays and whines.
Highlight of this guy's day. I wish it was that easy with the kids.

Right on! Like Clyde in Any Which Way but Loose.... or Fred in Smokey and the Bandit. Ride on Eddie Ray, Ride on.
Is Ray his middle name, or is his first name Eddie Ray, like Mary Jane?
