Dog + Bike question

[sundial]

Okay, so we were in Petsmart yesterday...

You have a Petsmart?? Lucky duck!

We're doing pretty well on the bike. I'm still nervous, but she's good most of the time. I just have to be very alert. I'm planning to get a pair of cheap rollerblades and try that as well. I think it'll be a good time. It takes so much to wear her out, it gets hard sometimes. My boyfriend and I are almost always exhausted nowadays. I knew there was a reason we always stuck to the older dogs! However, we also know that she will be an amazing girl once she gets through her teenage stage.

We also recently started using Kong toys with her. They work really well, but she's just too darned smart. She has figured out that she can just throw them to the ground really hard and make the stuff inside come out. It's funny to watch (and often messy), but doesn't keep her going too long because it actually works so well. We use the regular Kong and the treat ball. We also have a football shaped thing we can put treats in.

Next week, we're hoping to try herding. I'm very, very excited about that! Now, I'm heading over to read Elk's thread... Thanks again, everyone!

There's one in Fayetteville and one in Bentonville. So I have to drive 30 miles in one direction or another to get the Nutro Max food my doggies like so much. :P

Wow! You have all changed my mind. My mother kept talking about taking her dog out when she gets her bike but I kept telling her it was a horrible idea what with her just starting to bike again after so many years and the dog being bigger than she is. I have pictures of the dog taking off and her hitting the pavement. But, I guess if you ladies can do it she can. I will have to take my old bike out and give it wherl to see how it goes.
Good luck Aly - beautiful dogs!!!
