Dogs And The Wind In Their Face

Usually, when you think of a dog enjoying a breeze on its face, you think of them riding in the car with their head out the window.  Some dogs really love it.  I can only imagine the 1000’s (that’s a modest number) of scents they are aware of as they stick their muzzle out as far as they can.

In California (and other states) there is a $500 fine if someone reports you for having left your dog in a car.  I understand the law was made for those who are inconsiderate or perhaps naive to think that when it is 100 degrees outside, there may be temperatures double that in a closed car – and in a very short period of time.  I’m not writing to talk about this; however, maybe it’s a good reminder or information for those who don’t know this law exists or if someone needs a law to prevent them from accidentally endangering their dog.  Whether or not this law is necessary year-round is a topic for debate.

This time of year in the desert, there aren’t many places to take your dog where you can have the window down as they ride along feeling the wind in their faces.  As I sat in my living room, I witnessed how my dogs also love this experience but they don’t have to leave the comfort of the ottoman to have it!  The fan was oscillating and little did I know (until now) how much they enjoy it.
