It's wrapped in a longer length of gray foam pipe insulation, secured with spray on adhesive and then duct taped to the PVC pipe. Leave about 6# of extra foam insulation hanging off of one end of the PVC pipe to cushion the dog's neck. Thread climbing rope through the PVC pipe and make a secure loop at the end with the extra foam insulation (dog end). Attach a caribiner to the loop end, which can attach to the dog's collar. the other end of the rope can be tied to the underside of the bike seat. If you tie to the post it may hit the back tire. You may want to attach a caribiner to this end to for ease of use.

Golden Retriever Rescue o...Steve, Modi was rescued. Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, or GRRR (cool acronym, huh) is one of several golden retriever rescue non-profits in Colorado. Hard to believe these great dogs are abandoned, abused or surrendered, but there are tons of them. Modi is sweet and smart, but after we had him a short time, we discovered he has severe canine separation anxiety, so we are working on that with him and in the meantime, we have to either have a petsitter come stay with him or drop him with a petsitter if we're ever going somewhere without him. If he's left alone, he'll injure himself trying to get through the front door. We're optimistic and he's been getting better all the time.<BR/><BR/>Creechman, Thanks for stopping in! Actually, he really does have a choice. We used to have a neighborhood kid walk him a few times a week and after a while, he just didn't want to go so we quit sending him. When Scott get the bike out, he gets very excited and obviously wants to go, but point taken!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567668315717895367.post-12064873206418387792007-09-09T13:15:00.000-06:002007-09-09T13:15:00.000-06:00As if the dog has a choice?Nice to meet you Lisa. ...As if the dog has a choice?<BR/><BR/>Nice to meet you Lisa. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567668315717895367.post-80837846855038146192007-09-09T08:09:00.000-06:002007-09-09T08:09:00.000-06:00Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies? Is Modi a...Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies? Is Modi a retired rescue dog, or was he rescued? My parents had a tradition of naming their dogs after writers; I grew up with the Fitzgerald, a Golden Retriever mix, and Emily (Dickinson), a terrier mix. (Our Golden Retriever mix--my wife and children think he's really a Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever--is named Copper, because my son said he was the color of a copper penny.) So naming a dog for a painter doesn't seem unusual to me. I wonder whether a black Lab might be named for Clyfford Still.And you Denverites (Denverians, Denverese?) will, according to Wikipedia, get most of Still's work in the near future. His famous black canvas, I hope, will stay in Chicago.steve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567668315717895367.post-70084518090436707592007-09-07T21:40:00.000-06:002007-09-07T21:40:00.000-06:00Reality, so sorry about your pups.

I know you'll miss them and hopefully, they'll find a new place with plenty of space to run.<BR/><BR/>NN, the weather in Denver has really been beautiful this week. We're enjoying it while it lasts :)<BR/><BR/>Kristen, ever since Modi came to live with us I've had to learn that when I hear Scott talking in the other room, he's probably talking to the dog ;)<BR/><BR/>Olufunke, I have total confidence you will organize and adapt!<BR/><BR/>Charles, a friend told Scott there already is something similar to this on the market, but it doesn't work very well -- a better mousetrap maybe?<BR/><BR/>Patti, ironic, or -- maybe incredibly awesome!<BR/><BR/>Larramie, whoa, now that's some idea! Dog walkers have been around a long time, but how about dog fitness trainers? <BR/><BR/>Uncle Denis, YOU are too funny! I hope you read my post on Puff the Magic Dragon and all the comments.
