Hi,
We took Tia for a long ride this weekend. We have been keen on a bike trailer for some time, and the cheapest new one I have found is on
http://gaytoncyclehire.co.uk/index2.asp. It's a child carrier, but converts into a buggy so you can push your stuff around when the bikes are parked!
This weekend we hired a dog trailer, and Tia cried and cried. :oops: She had been hit by a bike at Easter so we were determined that she shouldn't run along. Apart from this, her brakes go on every time she sniffs something good (every blade of grass it seems!!) so we wouldn't have got anywhere.
We got such looks from people as we went along. :oops: :oops: :oops: She was secured in (as was recommended above), and although we praised her, gave treats etc (the way we'd got her used to the car) she just kept crying.
I felt obliged to explain ourselves to everyone we met, and were told in stage whispers we were being cruel. :oops:
At the end of the 14 miles, I suggested she should be allowed to walk with close supervision. She got out, had a sniff, hopped back in, not a peep, and when we tried to give the trailer back kept getting back in as happy as could be. :roll:
Talk about perverse!
