Default Dogs and Corvettes

How about Corvettes and dogs? Only rule is a Corvette and a dog must be in the shot. Your dog, someone else's dog, whatever.

I'll go first.

Today at the McDogs drive thru. Perusing the menu.

No pic, but dog story:

Decades ago, I was heading to a friends house for a Corvette club potluck. Took a corner too fast and the CrockPot of chili on the passenger floor tipped over spilling it's contents onto the carpet of my '72. That evening after returning home, I parked in the garage with the windows down and figured I'd clean up the mess in the morning. Sometime that night my Catahoula hound jumped through the open window and proceeded to eat, EAT!, the carpet. He then decided the leather seats looked pretty good too and tore the passenger seat up. When I discovered the carnage, I was annoyed but had no one to blame but myself. It also didn't sting as much as it could have since the interior was well worn and needing replaced anyway. Loved that dog but he tended to eat inappropriate things - like both pieces of my brand-new girlfriend's fancy underwear (she's been my wife for almost 30 years now!) - and brandy soaked kitchen towels that wrapped the fruitcakes my new mother-in-law made for me.

Does a piece of a Corvette qualify?

Here’s Dillon. Pics were taken during his 13th birthday party at the weekly car show. We had pizza and beer to celebrate, and yes, he had some.

Words can’t describe how much my wife and I miss him. He was THE BEST!

Beautiful dog. My Airedale is a busy man. Not sure how he would do in my 68. May try this weekend. Will advise.

Of course it qualifies. The dogs are the main attraction anyway.
