My brother pulled over to talk to me. His two dogs were in the car. The brown dog was sitting in the middle and the black dog had the window. The brown dog has been with us for over 10 years. He feels he owns the joint. He also feels the window is his.

After a while, we heard a “thump”. When we looked back at the truck, the brown dog had the window and the black dog was climbing back up on the seat.

As I walked over to take a photo of the dog’s adventures, the brown dog gave me this sad, apologetic look. He knew that it wasn’t typical behavior to push someone over, even another dog. But can’t you just see in those eyes that he NEEDED the window seat? Thank goodness dogs tend to be quick to forgive!

Moral of the Story: Sometimes when we reach for what we want, we knock people over. Think twice about your actions and your words. I know I need to do this more often.
