Ton's of DOGGIE GEAR!!!

Every one - except Bella (I ran out of triglides)- got a custom made harness, and everyone except Amber got new custom slip collars for walks - Amber doesn't pull too much so she's ok walking in her harness. Each one is adjustable on each shoulder & adjustable in the 'girth' area.

Was REALLY happy I made a new harness for Akyra - I took her for her first ride in the sidecar the same day. It came in handy!!! She wasn't too sure about it since she had her butt on the sidecar floor & her front legs on my lap ( theres enough room for her to get all four legs down in the sidecar, but she prefers to 'hug' me) She didn't like the bumps, but got used to them. I dont have a pic of her in the rig, but I have one of Amber - she got to go all kinds of places on Saturday - out to coffee, to the feed store & cruzin the backroads. She's easy to have in there, she fits on my lap :) She actually climbed down into the sidecar & went to sleep on the floor at the end! she was pooped!

Amber chillin in the sidecar next to her water bowl.

Those are great! Your guys are lucky to have a crafty mama like you. I have to tell you, I have fantasies of getting something with a sidecar & taking my guys our for rides. It sure looks like yours love it. What fun!

thanks!! I love making stuff for my dogs, they must have over 20 pieces of gear. I'm a gear junky!! lol I'm going to attempt to make winter jackets this year for them.

Oh the sidecar is sooo fun, we've only had it about a week or so, took awhile to master driving it, since it's nothing like a car or a motorcycle. It's tons of fun. Here's some pics of ours - we took the fairing off of it after these pics.

That is sooooooooo cool! I can just see the Paps hanging out in the sidecar with the wind blowing their ear feathers. :o)

Still not sure if they'd ever get to ride in the sidecar by themselves - Haven't figured out the tethering situation. Theres no seatbelt. Amber is not the smartest dog when it comes to moving vehicles & sticking her face in the wind. She almost fell outta the truck window one time ( hence the fabrication of her new harness!) - scared the crap outta me!! She was ok though.
