Getting to Know You!

[bikerHen]

Lisa - I hope you'll post a photo of your bike with your dogs in the carrier. DH and I have talked about getting a burley (as many of you have heard me mention in the past, we have four resident English cockers) and DH's dog, Lucy (aka The Queen of Everything) would look splendid in a burley as would any of the others

Well we did take some pic on a ride last summer but it may take a few days to figure out how to publish them to this site. I actually did some research into dog trailers, yes, they do make trailers just for dogs! I goolged bike trailers and found a company that specializes in dog trailers. The biggest difference being the axel is located more in the center of the trailer where a dogs center of gravity would be. My lovable but cheap DH firmly declined to spend that kind of money on "a couple of dogs". So, we got a cheap version at the local department store that he modified. Having said all that, it really is a kick taking the dogs. The dogs seem to have fun as long as were moving but want out as soon as we stop. Kinda like kids! bikerHen

Wow! I am impressed. Very nice quilts. I can be found Wed. - Sat. at The Cozy Quilt , at the "Y". I'm either longarming or doing the retail thing. If there's a bike tied up out front - I'm there. Stop by sometime. bikerHen

Wow - gorgeous! I think my favorite is S-Tripping through the Tropics.
And I second the "nice stuff" comment Irulan!

Thanks to both of you for sharing.

Tlkiwi, your mom is an artist! How beautiful - my favorite is "Oh to be in India" - I'm a sucker for those bright colors to cheer up long midwestern winters. Now, dang you guys! I used to quilt way back before kids, chores, etc. and now you're gonna wake up my sleeping (and expensive) fabric monster. Yes, I've got the bag in the basement with about three or four quilts' worth of fabric, etc. I never got to. Must..concentrate..on...new...bike!!!
