D.J. is fascinated by motor
vehicles of all kinds. He does not want to miss anything that is happening on
the road, and one time we almost lost him because of it. We were in the freeway
carpool lane headed to "Bark Park" in Costa Mesa, and traffic was only moving at
about 10mph. We had the windows down so the dogs could breathe better, when all
of a sudden I noticed out of the corner of my eye D.J. going out the window
after something! When he finally realized that he did not want to leave after
all, it was too late and he could not stop himself from falling out, and it
happened too fast for me to grab him. I could picture the back tire of my car
running him over at any second, but somehow we missed him. I looked in the
mirror and saw him wandering in circles with cars honking and the people inside
waving and talking to him as they passed! I pulled over, and Ayako went after
him, but she didn't need to. He ran as fast as I have ever seen him run straight
into her arms. From then on, we rode with the windows at least 3/4
up.
