The Wagon Was Moving and Nobody Dared Wake the Puppy

AI imageexotic shorthairpuppywagon ride

Slow and steady, the old wooden wagon is making its way across the yard. A red tabby Exotic Shorthair sits upright in the back with a flat, thoughtful face and gold eyes that seem to be reviewing the route. Beside him, Waffles the puppy is curled up on a gray cloth with his ears tucked and his eyes closed. A blue watering can, a flowerpot and a scatter of garden tools sit nearby on the grass, and a rope handle trails off to one side.

Wagon rides are a charming way to move a small pet around, but a few safety habits help. Pull slowly on smooth ground, avoid slopes and keep the sides high enough that nobody can tumble out. A blanket underneath makes the ride more comfortable. Not every cat or dog enjoys the motion, so watch for signs of stress like panting, trembling or trying to jump out, and end the ride if you see them. Exotic Shorthairs are usually relaxed and tolerant cats, which makes them better passengers than most.

This passenger seems entirely at ease, and the puppy is sleeping through the whole trip. It is a short, gentle journey with a very good view of the yard, and the only thing missing is a tiny sign reading Express Service. It is a gentle, unhurried journey with a good view of the yard, and the only thing missing is a tiny sign reading Express Service.
