We had a Pet Talker from a loooong time ago (Sophie's Dad) who would ask his dog if she wanted to *go fried*......which is short for *go for a ride*. I thought that was so cute so we use the term in our household as well.

It isn't quite as bad getting my two out of the house but once in the car, Hannah gets so excited....and excitement means she's got to make a potty stop. We are lucky if we get two blocks away before she starts acting like she's gotta go. She's in the back with one front paw on each of our arm rests in the front, and even after a potty stop she'll pant and whine and just be Miss hyper excited about the thrill of it all. It wears me out. Tucker, on the other hand, sits quietly in the back seat and looks out the window. He is so calm and collected that we don't even know he is there unless we turn around and check.
