New Sport - Dog Scootering (Kilted, of course)
A good freind has a sweet, but very strong and restless Pit Bull. Being full of energy, Izzy (the Pit Bull) wears my friend out fairly quickly on walks. So she did some looking on the internet and found a gent that makes Dog Scooters. essentially, they are like sidewalk scooters, only bigger and with an arm and harness setup for the dog. (In competetion, Pit Bulls have been known to pull up to 2000 lbs). It took Izzy a few tries to get the idea, but after she caught on, my friend now uses the hand brakes regularly. She mentioned this to me and being male and a lover of speed, I volunteered to give it a go.
It was a blast to hang on and feel the power of this dog going all out. It was almost like being a dog and experiencing it. Great fun!
The first pic shows the scooter and harness arrangement.
This is us coming in for a landing.
Me hanging on...
Thanks to Karo and Izzy,
Dale

That is a great idea for an energetic pup, looks like fun

My dog would go nuts doing that.
Looks like so much fun.

We did that with my wife's dog, a 130 lb malamute. He loves it of course, but his hips are going bad so no more for him.
.. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

That is way too cool!
My dog is a 95+ pounds of muscle.. He'd go like hell for a block or two, and then lay down, right where he stood. He's so laid back, he's almost in reverse!!

That is the same thing I was thinking. I have a 90lb auxillary carpet for a dog.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

That looks like a clever idea and great fun.

Sounds like my pit/boxer mutt Guinness. He can actually get out a solid 15 minutes of playing if he's had a 23 hour and 35 minute nap that day. 
I'd bet he'd love a scooter like that.
I strive to be the person that my little boy and my dog think I am and to live in a place where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
