A Very Long Car Ride
As you can see, the dogs LOVE riding in the truck... in the back of the truck, where the wind blows through their ears and they can bark at things without getting in trouble.
The backseat of the truck though is a different story. They just can't get comfortable! The following series of pictures is Posey trying her best to find a comfy position... This worked for a few minutes.
And, to our great surprise, this position seemed to be the winner, as she stayed like this for quite a long time! C'mon! Seriously, this cannot be comfortable in any sense of the word!
