Chuy's First Ride

When Andrew's parents were here I mentioned that I had been wanting a bike trailer so we could bring Chuy along on our rides. We always want to take a bike ride when it's really pretty outside, but then I feel awful putting Chuy in the crate on such a nice day. Andrew's parents still had the trailer they used when Andrew and Ben were kids, so they sent it to us. I put it together last weekend- the instructions were great! My favorite part was one line that said, "Attach the crossbar to the frame. You may have to force it a little." Perfect!

After a little thinking about the best way to adapt it from child-ready to dog-ready, I bought some materials and built a doggie seat. So yesterday we hooked it up to Andrew's bike and tried it out. It went well, so next weekend we are off to the dog park!
