It's late at night and I wanted to go out to Timmies for a coffee. I figured I'd take my dog with me for something for him to do so I told him we were going for a car ride. He got really excited and sat in front of the door waiting for me to take him outside to the car.

 I grabbed him by the collar and walked him out, but I didn't know that it had started to snow not too long ago and the instant I stepped outside I slipped on the ice and fell on my ass. Still, I got up still holding him and we walked to the car. I was about to open the door for him until I looked at the road and saw that it was covered in light snow. 

I suddenly decided I didn't want to have to deal with driving in fresh snow while also having a big dog in the car so I would just drive out to Timmies myself and leave my dog at home. I looked at Brutus and said 'no. No car ride.' And he immediately looked disappointed as we started to head back inside.

As I let him inside the house and closed the door, I looked through the window and him and he stared back at me but in a way that looked like he was expecting me to take him back out there any second for the promised car ride. I said 'no car ride' one more time and started walking to me car. I could hear him whining on the other side of the door.

Am I the asshole?
