With dog scootering on the brain, I ran across this site for a company called Winterdance- located just outside the beautiful Algonquin park.
It's taken my muse to a whole new level.
John & I stopped into a sledding store in Canmore, located just outside of Banff. I was very blue to find out that they didn't have any harnesses in Finn's size -they only had stock in for little wee dogs. (Apparently the big season hasn't started yet and these were the only ones left over from last year.)
Long story short- I can't wait to get home to my hairy 4-legged man and hit the trails!
Fin & I were really digging the bike/trail running. That was until someone stole my bike off my car's bike rack. (grrr)
This might be our next adventure:

DOG SCOOTERING!!!
"Does Your Dog Love to Run?
If your dog loves
to run, if you can't walk him enough, if he pulls your arm
off, if you would not want your mother or daughter to walk
him, if driving to the dog park each night is difficult/boring/expensive,
if the Iditarod grabs your imagination, try the new dog sport:
dog scootering. Slip your dog into a sled dog harness, rope
him to a scooter, hop on the scooter and let him run. The
dog and you become a mini mushing team. You ride the scooter;
he runs and pulls. Scooter dogs can run for a few city blocks
or for 5 to 20 miles on back country trails. You and the dog
are a team."
There's dogscooter.com, Digglers and for the more urban needs Dog Powered Scooters.
I'm still trying to connect to the site that sells Jones Scooters- they look pretty cool. And built like an old town canoe.
But their server says it's offline. Maybe now?
