Bike Riding for Dogs

Mom said she was tired of taking us to the park every weekend and missed riding her bike. So I took a look around the web showed mom all the kewl gadgets they have that allow you to hook a leash to a bike so you can bike with your dog. She bought a springer a long time ago but it didn't fit her mountain bike right, she never liked it.

She decided to be a cheapskate and build her own contraption. It worked out pretty well, she only fell once and that was getting off the bike, the klutz nearly fell on me! It's easy and cheap to build so I am posting it in case you other doggies want to go biking. Mom has a quick release seat so she just slipped a PVC T onto the seatpost. It was too big and the size smaller was too small. To solve the problem she wrapped a piece of rubber around the seat post first, then jammed on the PVC T. Now it stays where you put it, but can be rotated to the side or the front. She glued in a piece of PVC pipe and drilled a hole to clip the lead too. She bought the lead clips and rope and made that also, I told you she was cheap! When our harnesses come in she will put on a longer pipe and rotate it towards the front, letting the pipe extend out over the front wheel. This will allow us to go bikejoring and keep the bungee lead from getting tangled in the wheel.

If your mom is not a cheapskate like mine you might want to check out the walkydog,
it attaches to the seat post and sticks out to the side. For bikejoring you need to check out the BAY-o-net.

Dog Photos

It's cold and raining, all it does is rain rain rain, so I am bored. Nothing to do but browse around on the computer. My big brother who lives in Austin took photos with santa for a rescue group in Austin where he lives. He is now doing a shoot for the Lofty Dog pet store in Austin. Guess I don't get to be in any of the pics cause I live too far away. Life is so unfair sometimes. Anyways if you want to see some of the pups check out his blog or photography website.

Glowing Green Pigs

Maybe they should do this to dogs so they can find us in the dark when we run away and so cars can see us and won't run us over. They should definately do it to mice, it would make our hunting much easier.

Frozen Raw Bison Bones

Thats what mom brought home for us today. They are selling them at the kennel where she gets our food. She says they are disgusting and that I better keep it out of her bed. Gotta go work on my bison... later.

Siberian Husky Service Dog Training.

A siberian husky service dog, mom thinks this is gonna be real interesting. She wonders how anyone is gonna pull off such a thing, knowing how stubborn and pig headed we are. That is actually the reason a siberian was chosen for the job, service dogs need to be able to think for themselves. All you sibes need to keep an eye on this little girl and keep your paws crossed that she makes it. Our breed is always getting a bad rep by people who just don't understand our sense of humor.
