Best trade ever!

I have been wanting to get a wagon for Lillie to start pulling Samantha in when we go for walks. I am tired of pushing the stroller and her fussing because she isnt a "baby" and doesnt want to sit in the stroller like a baby. For some odd reason sitting in a wagon is different than sitting in a stroller. So I figured if I got a wagon it would make Samantha happy and maybe help Lillie get a little muscle on her.

Well I traded my friend my DS for her wagon. It's a nice one too. It's a radio flyer one with the wooden side rails on it and nice thick tires. I think I did good on this trade. I never played the DS anyways. JJ bought it for me when the Nintendogs came out. Sorry but real dogs are better!!!

When I get the wagon equipped for pulling I will post pictures!!

That's cool! When I read you traded your DS I was confused I thought you were talking about your "darling son" (DS) - ya know INTERNET lingo? LOL!

If you haven't thought of it, I might suggest you read up on introducing a cart to your dog, especially a child's wagon that may be noisy - some dogs spook bad from the noise behind them if they are not introduced slowly. I take River to pull/cart and mushing class and they always stress the importance of introducing the harness and cart. River did well, didn't seem to bother him at all - except for a little nervousness in the very beginning. But some dogs are quite jittery.

Be sure to take pictures!

Haha. Sorry guys. I should have said video game. I have a DD not a DS. But hopefully next year we will be welcoming a DS into our lives.
