The skinny

This summer I have risked all of my knee skin and put my bones in jeopardy by taking doughhead Copper rollerblading as often as I could.  It has been so much fun.  On occasion I have even invited Ruby along.  Juggling both their leashes and keeping them in line is a massive self esteem boost.  Especially when we return to the house with pristine knee skin.

Tips for rollerblading with your dog:
-Know how to roller skate.
-Ensure that your meathead dog knows that you’re the boss.
-Know when to drop the leash and save yourself.
-Watch traffic and ensure that traffic watches you.
-Let your dog visit briefly with other dogs on leash then be the boss and keep going!
-Be wary of dogs off leash and the squirrel/rabbit population.
-Think: knee skin.

I saw a girl the other day rollerblading and wearing earphones.  Good thing winter is almost here because it’s going to take months for her knee skin to realign.  Poor chicken.  Nicholas starts hockey this weekend.  I am 100% against playing hockey and walking your dog at the same time.  Danger bay.
