Why we love scootering

Hey there. I fell off my horse a little over a week ago and I can't do much on the physical side of things. So....it means I have some time to process some of the video I have been taking but not posting.

This one is just me and Teddy in my neighborhood, having a blast. We hit about 25 kph for the first few minutes of this run before settling down into an easier pace. It's pretty funny, because Teddy is so fast, usually adding another dog to the mix actually slows things down instead of speeds them up. I think adding Dodge, way back when, sped us up, because Dodge was a running fool too, but since then, although Tango kept up with Ted, nobody else has added a single MPH to our top speed.

If I ever find another dog who can actually keep up with and add speed, I think I will just have to keep him/her!

Ballet with Teeth

All work and no play makes a blog an awfully dull place, but I managed to get a quick video of Teddy and the latest foster dog having an absolute riot. Looks like this guy is going to make a pretty good scooter dog, so be on the lookout for another scootering video soon!


BTW, the sound isn't broken, but they were pretty noisy, so after giving a little sample of the noise level, I muted it to keep the video size down and to cut down on the annoyance factor.

Sparky v Teddy part II - the grudge match

Sparky the Impaler kicks Teddy the Innocent's butt again. Check out the great save Ted makes when the dog toy rips apart...

Teddy goes solo!

Teddy takes a scooter run through the autumn woods. Now that Budrow has been adopted he is once again the lone pointer.

Bunny bunny bunny

Why did the bunny cross the road? Who knows, but it sure makes things interesting.

Scootering Point Salubrious

Teddy and Budrow show a little bit of Point Salubrious, NY.

Budrow gets a belly rub

It looks like he has really gotten over his fear that somebody's going to whack him when he least expects it.



yahoo!

Budrow comes when callled and sits

Might not seem like a big deal, but it sure didn't happen when I first got him.

Dog Scooter Drag Strip

Flat pavement, wide grass verge, and enthusiastic dogs make this a great run.

Endo!

This should be more exciting, but it was unplanned, so you have to imagine what it looked like.

Slightly OT- The Cat Toy, the Ceiling Fan, and the Pointer

I was playing with the dogs with a cat toy and I looked up at a ceiling fan and thought "why not?"

I've Got the ER on Speed Dial

My third scootering video. Three dogs instead of two. The title comes from the advice another dog powered sport afficianado gave me -"If you do that you'd better put the ER on speed dial!"

Zip Clips

This is essentially Scooting with Dodge and Teddy with all of the boring (slow) parts cut out.
