I woke up to the click-clack of the exit warning, the crackle-crunch of a car kennel, and the tick-tock of an engine catching its breath.
"Where are we?" I ran to the little couch under the big window in the back. "We're at the ocean! Let me out! Lemme out! Lemme out!"
"Hang on, where did I put your leash?" Mom asked her hips, one at a time.
When I looked out the window, my tail jumped into my chest. The sea was wet as wet could be, but the car kennel wasn't dry. When I looked closer, I noticed something was terribly awry.
