As previously mentioned, Bella loved to hang out the car window feeling the wind blow through her mane and taking in the bouquet of the neighborhood. To see her little white fluffy body against the vivid blue Honda was a sight to behold. And I enjoyed it just as much as she did; particularly when drivers next to us or oncoming would point and smile at her. I felt like such a proud Momma!
One summer in the sweltering heat of August, I decided to take her for a late night ride just to cool off. Sometimes air-conditioning just does not cut it, and you need that dose of fresh air. It was going to be a short ride, and at that time of night, about 10pm, the streets were relatively quiet, so I could drive slowly for her. There was a simple route to take from our house out to the main road, through the park, and back on a little side road within the park, past the middle school and back home. It should take no longer than 10, maybe 15 minutes.
Everything was fine until I took the sharp right turn from the park to the little side road. Bella was hanging out of the car more than I anticipated and as the car went right...Bella went left! Right out of the car window! The next thing I knew I saw her in my rear-view mirror with a look on her face like, "What the heck just happened??"
I stopped the car and went to pick her up and just held her, rocking her, and apologizing over and over again. It is funny now, but back then, not so much. Remarkably enough she was not hurt or injured at all!
Bella has more funny stories like this to share! Please watch for more of our crazy adventures!
