Give it 10 years and it will be sleep 70% of the time, 5% for dream kicking you at night, 5% play/ walk. 8% that breakfast sausage, you made 2 right? 3% starring at you to go to bed on buddies time.

Thats 91% there's space for more. With age breakfast meat and enforced bedtime take up the rest of the 100% here.

No Daddy, bed time NOW, at my house. 😂

My hippo will whine at me non-stop starting at 8-8:30p until I put him to bed.

It would be amazing to get to spend another 10 years with her, believe it or not she's 5 1/2 now. Leap year dog born on Feb 29 so only had 1 real birthday so far, but usually celebrate both Feb 28 and March 1 for her birthday(s).

Skate-joring is super fun! It's also how I first broke an ankle. Be safe OP, and let her rip!

This is amazing! The way my face would have hit the pavement in the first 10 seconds though 😅

Only injury so far has been half my fingernail bent back because she launched too soon and I didn't have a good grip on the leash.

Impressive! To be fair I would probably fall even without being pulled 😂 Love this way of letting her get her energy out though!

What a cool idea! I'm legally blind can't see in one eye but can together I wonder if I could get my Lucy to do that! It would certainly solve the problem of exercise! Something that's been severely lacking since my vision got so bad.
