Family...
Well, that isn't entirely accurate, there was that one time.....I lasted about 100 feet and then flew (in very spectacular fashion, if I do say so myself) over the handlebars. I have a good number of excuses for that incident, I won't bore you all with them....suffice to say that was the end of my scootering.
Over the years, no one has really challenged me on that - and if they did I had several well honed excuses as to why I wasn't scootering with them.
A couple days back we dragged my lovely Pawtrekker scooter out of the garage so Kathryn could take Bean and Dasher out.
She had a great time. Everyone always does.
This morning after running, feeding and shoveling after the Tramplings that darn scooter was staring at me as I walked back to the house.
Next thing I knew I had harnesses on Jinx and Bingo and was on the scooter headed out of the yard.
There are no pictures - I likely wouldn't have gone out if anyone had been around to photograph it - but the girls will tell you there were no crashes or even near crashes. We had a blast!! And of course, after the first downhill I was whistling them up on all subsequent downhills!!
I wonder if Charge and Q are up for a run on the scooter tomorrow!!!

Um...if I can scooter (and I am older than you...LOL) and survive...you can! It is an unbelievable feeling as it is a far more personal ride than on a big team...just you and 2 dogs...!
Woohoo! I had no idea you didn't know what you were missing out on! The time I scootered with your dogs was the most fun EVAH!
Scootering is a blast, though the wipeouts can be spectacular.
I actually got Gary Paulsen to ride my scooter behind one of my Siberians. He rode the brake the whole way. Sadly, i didn't get any photos though.
That's awesome! Another fun thing you get to do now!!! I bet this is an art to it. Kindof like the time I tried to roller blade w/Sitka pulling me. Yeah, that went real well!!! Not!
Have fun again tomorrow but be careful. Make sure someone gets a photo or 2 to share!

Oh my gosh! Ramey would kill me if I even suggested such a thing!!! He won't even let me on the back of a sled unless he's driving it and I'm wearing a back brace and it's well padded and we're only going a short distance. (I think he's afraid I'll "crash")
Hi Karen. I agree with Natalie and would even challenge you to take your bicycle that you posted about last week, and give it a try with 2 of your dogs. It is very personal with a smaller team. It is loads of fun and super great exercise :-)

Q and Charge would be fun. I'll never forget running Watt and Q at your place. Fastest run I've ever had on a Scooter.
You can't ride the brake at Karen's as I found out the hard way. It's too sandy and you WILL fall! You just have to hold on and balance as you turn the corners!
