My husband convinced me to take our black lab out on a bike ride with me, I was hesitant because she's scared of everything (I think someone forgot to tell her that's she's a 90 lb dog), and I worried that I'm not a good enough bicyclist to handle her and the bike if something spooks her.

I strapped my helmet on, grabbed Lola and took her out to the garage to meet Rosie. I let her sniff all around and fed her a couple of her favorite training treats to show her this was a training exercise. I hopped on my bike and we were off...

It's like Rosie, Lola and I were the three musketeers, Lola galloped along side me with her tongue hanging out and I was riding with a grin from ear to ear, Rosie would have tooted her horn if she had one. It was a great time and a wonderful experience. I can't wait until tomorrow to go out again.

We passed a lady with a dog, a bunch of people and even had to ride out on the highway a bit and Lola handled it all like a pro. All together our ride was maybe half an hour and when we came in she had a BIG drink and fell on the floor...she hasn't moved since...

Operation "tire out Lola" SUCCESS!!
