Taking Niko with us when we go rollerblading is a great workout for him. He can keep up with us when we skate. And when we feel a little lazy and slow down, Niko would run ahead and pull us to help us out. When he is pulling, we chant "mush, mush!" It is a lot of fun and we shorten the leash when other people are around. We get lots of comments and smiles.
that's very cool! wish we could do something similar, but i don't think taro shiba's 9 lb body has enough pull for his overweight male human.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Is Taro really 9lbs? Niko is 27lbs.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Good to know Zuko isn't the only monster-sized Shiba. He's 27-28 pounds on average and certainly not fat. His doggie daddy was 30 lbs!
ReplyDeleteSo, how does Niko feel about being told to "mush" though? ;-)
Sounds fun!
Ha very cool, I love that you say "mush mush" like you are in an Iditarod race or something. Will you get a skateboard for Niko?
ReplyDeleteNiko doesn't mind mushing to keep us moving his pace ;)
ReplyDeleteWoah Joe, thanks for teaching me a new word - Iditarod! No skateboard in the foreseeable future.
