We don’t have a television so we don’t watch commercials. However, my mom was watching a show on Hulu.com when she caught a flash of a Subaru commercial, where dogs drive the car. <\/p>\n
“You didn’t know my first dog, Keesha,” she told Ophelia and me. Creampuff knew Keesha of course but she was off hiding and being ditzy as usual. <\/p>\n
“Keesha used to wait for me in my car,” she said, sounding a little sad. “I’d come back from the store or the gym and she’d be sitting behind the steering wheel. People would make jokes like, ‘That dog wants to drive.'” <\/p>\n
Uh… mom, you had a car?! Ophelia and I have been strictly buses and cabs.<\/p>\n
“And,” she continued, “I would say, ‘Keesha, you know better! Get in back.’ And Keesha would give me that look – ‘You caught me!’ – and jump to the back seat.”<\/p>\n
That’s a trick? My mom was clearly besotted. <\/p>\n
She went off to Youtube to look up more videos of dogs driving Subarus. Her favorite is (naturally) the parking commercial where the dogs get beat out by a large fuzzy cat. <\/p>\n
I have to watch over Mom’s shoulder because my paws don’t fit the keys. You can just click the play button. <\/p>\n
