The wife's German Shepherd loves to ride also. He knows the word "Go and Going" and runs to the door when he hears it. When the wife is in the bathroom changing clothes, he sits outside till he sees if she is dressing to go out or stay home. If she dresses up, he starts getting excited running back and forth to the door. The only thing he gets more excited about is "Play" and he grabs up his Frisbee and starts jumping up on me and running back and forth to the door. I have never seen a dog get so excited about going out and playing fetch the Frisbee. He is very insistent each morning and by 0730 it becomes impossible to not go out and play. He usually wakes me within 5 minutes +or - of 6:00am so that gives me 1 1/2 hours to get dressed, eat breakfast and have my coffee before play time. Darned dogs, they sure get into a habit quickly especially the riding in cars habit.
