"I'm king of the world!"

Yesterday Rufus had a play date with his friend, a black lab named Guinness, so I loaded him into the Jeep and off we went into the soggy morning. Rufus, being the dog he is, likes to ride with his head out the window, even in the rain, so I partially unzip the passenger side window for him. I say partially because this dog has been known to jump out of moving cars. Yesterday he was particularly excited about the "ride in the car" because I told him he was going to get to run around like a maniac with Guinness, so he kept his head out the window longer than I expected. I snapped this shot while I drove down the street. Yep, I'm all about safety and minding the rules of the road. And as I took the shot I thought "I'm king of the world, Rose". And then last night "Titanic" was on HBO, probably for the millionth time. Cosmic connection? Doubtful.

And yes, the two dogs ran around like mental patients for two hours, and properly wore each other out.
