Here's a little lesson for other dogs or people who may not be well versed at riding in the car. It's by no means a full comprehensive guide, but just a few tips to make your experience a little better. As you may know, I am now a pro at riding in the car, and my people know this. I am offered a car ride frequently simply to showcase my skills.

Ajax's Tips To Create The Best Car Ride Possible

1. Lesson one. The car is essentially a moving dog house. Treat it as such. Be sure to claim the back part as your own. It contains a full bed to lay down on, and as such, it is the more desireable location. Let the humans sit up front.
2. Don't waste your energy up front. You may or may not have a long way to go. Make sure that if there's something stinky outside later on in the trip, you have enough stamina to stand up and investigate. Don't be overly aggressive with the things you've already seen / heard / smelled before. Besides, who doesn't like to lie down and relax. Be comfortable!
3. Sticking your nose on the window usually makes it open. This is especially true if you can work up a little bit of a wet residue on the window.
4. If your people leave you in the car, bark for a while to make sure they know you're still there.
5. Stick your head out the window when possible. If snowing, you get bonus piles of snow on your nose that make you look cute.
6. Make sure you make the most of the people's close proximity to you. We all know that the people don't hang out in the crate with you at home. When you're in the moving crate (car), remember that they're stuck in there with you until it stops moving. Be sure to make sure they remember to pet you. The headrest in the middle of their seats is a good place to position yourself for easy petting access. Even better -- if they already have an arm there, use it! It can be a headrest:,
   or even just a place to prop yourself up so you can look happily out the window:

7. When you get back home, make sure they know if you weren't ready to be home yet by staying lying in the back of the car even if they tell you it is time to go inside. If they ask five or six times, you've made your point and then can go inside.
