Peanut's new mode of transportation

Peanut used to be able to walk with me for miles - not so much anymore. In the past couple of years he's really slowed down. As he approaches fourteen years old this summer, he still enjoys his walks but tires pretty quickly, usually about a 1/2 mile. He may be a small dog, but after carrying 10 lbs for a while he still gets heavy. While a 1/2 mile walk may be sufficient for Peanut it sure doesn't do much for me or Bob ... so, Bob brought this home for Peanut last week:

We weren't sure how he would react to this new idea. We set off this morning to try it out. We planned to walk a couple of miles. As always, he got excited when he saw his leash. Neither one of us realized how hot it was this morning. Walking down Nimmo doesn't provide much shade either - next time we'll walk through the neighborhood instead. Peanut started slowing down before 1/2 mile so Bob picked him up and put him in the stroller ... and Peanut sat right down.

... and he stayed there. I figured after he adjusted to the idea he would make the call to get in and out as often as he wanted to. I didn't think it would happen so quickly. When he was ready to walk again, he just stood up and was ready to jump out. He did that on and off throughout the 2 miles. Pretty cool huh? He caught on pretty fast, I'd say.

I guess we're set now. No more excuses for not walking further. :)

BTW, HAPPY EASTER!!
