Column: Drive-thru debacle

Bo Mayne Vizsla resident of Maryville

Hi. My name is Bo.

Have I ever told you that I love ice cream? I will do anything for a cup of my favorite treat!

One day, Dad took me to Kansas City. I was so excited. I love a good road trip.

We stopped by a place with the magic window.

The magic window is when Dad drives up and they give me ice cream. I get so excited when I see a magic window, I can hardly contain myself. Someone just pops out and *POOF* … I have my treat.

But this day was different. Because when I looked inside, I saw that they have OTHER TREATS TOO! Hamburgers and French fries AND ice cream?! Oh my!

I couldn’t help myself.

This was my chance.

I made a dive for it.

I jumped over Dad and leaped through the car window in one quick flash!

Dad was shocked. The people in the magic window were shocked and scared.

I don’t know why. I’m very friendly.

Unfortunately, Dad has good reflexes. He caught me and pulled me back with all his strength.

I did not get to all that food.

I was returned to the truck very quickly. It did not turn out how I planned.

Sometimes Dad shakes his head and says I was supposed to be a hunting dog.

But I WAS hunting.

For cheeseburgers.

I can’t help who I am.

I got my ice cream that day, but now when we go to the special windows, everyone gets real uptight and they hold my collar. Apparently I am not welcome inside the place with all the food. I guess they know I just can’t trust myself when ice cream is around.
