Running Irwin

Posted in Dogs, Lance at 11:12 pm by lance

Irwin and Beamer were best buddies and Irwin was able to release a lot of his energy on Beamer.  Now that Beamer is not with us any more, Irwin has a lot of pent up energy… more than I can burn off by playing or running with him.  That’s why I bought a bike.  Along with my bike, I also bought a leash attachment that has a spring in it so when Irwin pulls he doesn’t pull me over.

It’s taken a little while to just get him used to the bike.  What’s even funnier is that we also had to get him used to seeing me with a helmet on.  He REALLY did not like that.

After I got Irwin used to the bike (and helmet) it was time to leave the backyard.  I wanted to start off easy – like you’re supposed to do with any exercise program, so we stayed close to home.

Now that Irwin and I are getting used to the run, we’ve started to venture further into the neighborhood.

I think he’s starting to like his run!

More to come…
