On Thursday, Rich decided to let Sascha go for a run.\u00a0 This is her favorite thing to do, after all, besides lay in someone’s lap.\u00a0 To get her ready, Rich put on the flexible booties that are supposed to protect her feet.\u00a0 One problem:\u00a0 the booties won’t stay on.\u00a0 We’ve tried a couple of different type now with no good results.\u00a0 About 2 minutes into the run, the booties start to fly off.\u00a0 Oh well, we will keep trying.<\/p>\n
Rich got ready and turned on the helmet cam.\u00a0 He readjusted this to sit up higher on his helmet.\u00a0 I think it captured the action much better.\u00a0 You can at least see Sascha as she is running out in front and the booties are flying off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sascha got excited about going for a run.\u00a0 She actually barked this time!\u00a0 She hardly barks or whines or makes a noise.\u00a0 She is the quietest dog.\u00a0 Sascha generally pokes you with her nose to get what she wants.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Rich took Sascha through what we call Squirrel Alley.\u00a0 This is the back side of the subdivision where the road runs through a heavily wooded area.\u00a0 The squirrels and other wildlife hang out back there.\u00a0 Sascha can’t help but find a squirrel in this part of the housing development.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Rich almost got through the alley, Sascha decided to stop dead in her tracks.\u00a0 This almost threw Rich off the scooter as well as to pull Sascha off her feet.\u00a0 I wasn’t there, but the video tells the story when you see it.\u00a0 Maybe dog scootering is a dangerous sport after all!<\/p>\n
They made it back to the house in one piece and Sascha was good and tired from the run.\u00a0 She crawled into my lap and slept for a good half an hour.\u00a0 I was looking for an excuse not to get up and have to do anything anyway.<\/p>\n
Rich and Sascha on another run:<\/p>\n
