Saw Something Weird Yesterday

[kfergos]

Riding down a bike trail, I saw a gal laboring uphill coming towards me. She was pulling one of those trailers you stick toddlers in, and I thought, "She sure is working hard. Must be a big kid in there." When I got closer, I glanced into the window and saw -- a tiny little DOG! It was one of those fuzzy lap dogs that could fit in a purse.

Hmm, come to think of it, maybe she could just get a really big bike bag and squeeze the dog in under her saddle...

LOL, I thought about doing that with one of my golden retrievers. The smallest is in the 65 lb range....

A couple years ago, I met a fella who rode about with his dog in a doggie backpack. The dog LOVED it. But this was a small terrier.

That's funny because just yesterday I saw a guy pulling one on the trail and it had 3 Dachshunds in it!!! DH said as much as we love our dogs, he thought he would leave his at home!

I can't see me pulling a 90 lb german shepherd.

There is a lady that regulary rides the Mt. Vernon Trial on weekends pulling a baby trailer with 3 little fuzzy dogs riding in it.

Not having a dog (and when I did, it was a Chesapeake Bay Retreiver), I don't get it why folks can't leave their dogs at home. As long as she's not holding up traffic, which she doesn't, guess I shouldn't care.

I did think it was odd the first time I saw it!

There's a guy from around here who pulls a Briard in his kid carrier. Look 'em up, they're bigger than a German Shepherd!

How about the other way around?
Dogs like to ride in cars, why not behind bikes?

I'm not a dog person, but I came across this contraption the other day, which makes the doggie trailer seem like overkill, especially if you're talking about a purse dog:

I with you sundial! My shepherd is pulling his own weight!

I saw a guy with his german shepard in a trailer on the MS150 a few years back. Day two is quite hilly and he was pulling him along. The dog on the other hand did not seem excited about the ride.

My spoiled miniature schnauzers do not like being out of the AC longer than it takes to potty, this would be cruel and unusual punishment to the brats.
