Travel at the speed of dog

[CitizenKate]

Finally got someone to help me get some photos of my dogs and I out scootering. Nigel and Mushka can't wait to go scootering every morning. We all have a lot more fun when they get to go the speed they like to go, without being limited to how fast I can walk. And with no dog parks in town, this is one of the few (legal) ways they get to run. This activity has also made for some great companionship.

Neat idea Kate!

I think you are enjoying that as much as they are, Kate!

..and your dog is called Nigel. You really are a whole lot crazier than I first thought LOL

Say 'Mush' to the dogs for me <grin!>

That look like fun. It's funny how dogs like to have a job to do. It's like it helps their self esteem or something.

I think you're right! They don't have to do much convincing to get me to take them out.

Yes, a fine English name. I sometimes call him "Sir Nigel" (usually when he's acting like a noodle-head). My former house-mate came up with that name. She's German (from around Munich) and lived in Birmingham (UK, not Alabama) for a few years. I think it's probably the name of one of her former boyfriends.

It sure seems that way to me. But then, they get lavished with approval and treats when they do a good job mushing, so that may also have something to do with it. I also think they just like any kind of meaningful interaction, and having a job to do is certainly meaningful.
