adventures in dog-land

due to obis poo-filled teenage rebellion, i am determined to exercise him more.

so today i dug out the dangerous looking contraption i have been strategically using for other useless things all these years called "the springer" (a device for your bike to enable to "safely" attach a leash) and put it on my old bike.

obi was horrified.

so we walked...yes, walked a half a block with him attached to the bike
after finally succumbing to his perceived two-wheeled death machine, i got the courage to mount the bike and ride...attached to a 70 lb pitbull.


it worked!

unlike my imagined outcome, neither of us perished in a bloody bike disaster.
not even much discomfort. (well, ob's might still have some bike trust issues.)
and obi even appeared to exert himself...a little.

actually, it was awesome.

hopefully this will cure his obsession with logs, sticks,  saplings -basically anything made out of wood, and i will, again, see vegetation in my backyard.
maybe.

but for now i have to go have a little talk with my other dog, doo, about communal etiquette and not being a nosy, complaining neighbor.
he's worse than an old lady...
