Cycling along the Mosel River with a dog.

R2B have you never seen agility dogs having fun, they love it, they and their owners keep fit and have fun together. 

K, I keep having vision of sheep dogs waiting peacefully at home whilst the farmers collect the sheep, of gun dogs sitting watching the "guns" collect their own birds, of sled dogs laying wrapped in blankets whilst being towed by humans, of hounds being transported in farm vehicles rather than running with the horses.  Much more kind than expecting them to run.  LoL

Sometimes when you have an elderly dog or two you end up doing things you'd never imagined. 

We have two elderly dogs. We also have a bike trailer. When they were young they'd go for miles. Now we're lucky to get more than a mile before problems occur. 

I suppose we could just sit at home with them but we and they enjoy the trips out on the bike. I just listen to their vet in this respect and ignore dubious advice off strangers. 

PS the time is approaching when they'll need a pushchair and I don't care whether people 'like' seeing dogs in strollers or not. Their personal prejudices come second to my pets welfare
