26.07.08 basket case (i know, too easy)

I bought a bike a couple of weeks ago, and went straight from the bike store to the pet store to buy a backpack in which to put Comet for our rides. Unfortunately, she’s way too big for any of the models, and it was with a (slightly) heavy heart that I went on my first big ride last weekend, without her.

The next idea was a bike trailer for children, but they’re very bulky and expensive, not to mention the relative ridiculousness of putting a dog in them. But after much searching, I found this lovely item, made in the Netherlands by Basil. I had a hard time finding it in North America, but have just secured my own.

The ridiculousness isn’t completely out of the picture though, especially considering that I’ve been looking at dog helmets and goggles…

    That is so awesome! How cute will Comet look…especially with the goggles :).

    There’s a guy at our dog park that brings his dog (german shepherd) in a side car on his motorcycle, so hey, you know, not that crazy.

    If only we had a reason to get doggles for Daisy.

    Ohhh oui! J’imagine déjà Comet avec son casque et ses lunettes. Est-ce que le “basket case” en question n’est pas trop petit pour elle?

    Eh, “Pétoche” (http://www.koztoujours.fr), c’est drôlement chouette de sympa de garder le MESSAGE que je dois faire passer à cette GROSSE TACHE qui vit, là-haut, sous les combles, LE MANIAQUE DE L’ÉLECTRICITÉ, qui aboie quand on lui parle et se tient toujours au garde à vous prêt à obéir, le MESSAGE étant : ” ELLE… A DIT : “CALTEZ, VOLAILLES !” .
    Merci pour ce fabuleux espace démocratique du chien (premier couplet)
