He was chasing our car down our driveway. As we started rolling down the street, he cut towards the sidewalk, but missed his angle. Put his big, beautiful, largely empty skull right on the middle of a Toyota's bumper.
As he staggered away we could almost see the butterflies whirling round his head.

This is so on point, but I'm going to be that guy just this much:
My childhood dog, Curry, a golden retriever of surpassing beauty, kindness & all-round doggitude was, shall we say, not the sharpest tool in the shed, as shown by the time he didn't bark at a parked car; he ran into it, full tilt.

Bookshop.org now sells ebooks & seems to match Amazon prices. Right now the app only works on iOS & Android devices (so would work on the Boox option), but they've muttered about working with Kobo. And it would be nice to make it easier than Kindle does now to read the various file formats.
