Sunny Wednesday Weather

Don't know why it is so sunny and warm out but what an awesome day Wednesday was.
The trails were almost dry and the paths were clear. Looking for a few new trails tomorrow,
today is a work day blagg.

Spring Lake 01/08/09

A little foggy but still good for mushing.

Welcome

Hi,
Welcome to the world of Dog Mushing. A great way to get outdoors for you and your furry friends.
So many people that have started to do this sport fall fast and hard for the thrill and exhilarating excitement. My first time on a dog scooter was incredible. A little apprehensive at first but after 20 minutes I was hooked. Since then my dog's Sammie and Alex have been outdoors for atleast 2 hours a day, sometimes twice a day. We mush in the rain and cold and find that the muddier the better.

A Dogs Best Day Ever!

Imagine this, we are dog scootering next to Spring Lake (one of the most beautiful places on earth!) on a misty December afternoon. Our Golden Retriever Alex is running like the wind downhill pulling me on a Diggler (kick scooter) . Our 7 year old daughter is gliding down the hill besides Alex on her Dirt Dawg Diggler.. and she says... "Look, this is Alex's BEST DAY EVER!" And in that moment, I noticed that in fact it was! It was all our BEST DAY EVER!

Dog Scootering is good for the soul, both dog and human alike. The trails can be surfaced streets or muddy trails. We can be walking the scoooters uphill in search of the thrilling downhill or just cruising easy on flat terrain. It really doesn't much matter because the best part of the experience is sharing it with our family, including the four legged members.

One two hour trekk of dog scootering is worth hours and hours of traditional dog walking. It is with dog scootering that I became a believer in the philosophy that dogs need a job to be happy, balanced and satisfied. As soon as we harness up the dogs, they are besides themselves with excitement for the adventure ahead. When we return home, they are happy and settled.

A day that includes Dog Scootering, is THE BEST DAY EVER!
