Bad Pet Owner!
Our dog Vinnie loves to ride in the car. I take him with me whenever I can but I never let him out of the car while we're out because he freaks out and starts shaking. Therefore, Vinnie's rides are mostly limited to dropping off and picking up Laurel from school, with an occasional outing elsewhere.
Last Friday, Vinnie, Ethan, and I went to pick up Laurel from school as usual. Laurel and I discussed her day on the way home and laughed about her brother's antics. About an hour later, Greg's coworker came over to pick something up and we were sitting on the living room floor when Vinnie came bounding in with Greg close behind lamenting, "Poor Vinnie!!!"
Not only had I forgotten to let Vinnie out of the back of the car, but to my further embarrassment, Greg's coworker was the one who discovered Vinnie's plight. Horrors! Embarrassment! Shame!
Funny thing is, Vinnie wasn't complaining about being left in the car -- he was just sitting there quietly. He probably figured it was well-deserved respite after dealing with a tail-pulling toddler all day.
Mea culpa, Vinnie.
Addendum -- here is what I mean by Vinnie needing a respite. Ethan is sitting on Vinnie:
