Well, kind of.........

On Friday, MrsGixer took delivery of our new twin buggy for the 2 littlest gixers:

Today i harnessed up my faithful hound, connected him via a twin leash to the buggy, and let him pull the 2 little Gixers along whilst they reclined in comfort.

Admittedly, i still had to walk along behind the buggy, but i reckon that can be easily solved by attaching a buggy-board to the rear axle:

This should allow me to ride along on the back, in an Eskimo stylee. Mush, doggy, Mush!! However, i fear that with my immense bulk to drag along, i may need a bigger dog. Or 2 dogs. Or 2 bigger dogs. Or an engine.

Yeah, i can see it now........ I pimped my pushchair. Westside.

Thumbs Up

Thats very cool... Reminds me of when I was 13/14. we had a decent amount of snow. My road was nicely compacted and I used my two jack russel terriers to pull me along in a sledge (I just held onto their leads and yelled "cats" and off they went), I was amazed at the speed we got up to, considering the meagre size of the hounds.

I was down the pub the other week discussing the possibility of towing baby Earls pram with my RC nitro monster truck... After a few hours and many beers, we decided a busa engine was the only way to go! Rolling Eyes

Tell you what, Mr Gixer how about I loan you 'The Grottie' and you can see how fast he and Geogie can get you? Mr. Green

I'd suggest that you leave the mini-Gixers at home for the test run though!! Shocked

On another note though the Newfoundland and Leonberger were both trained for carting but the carts they use in competitions etc. cost a small fortune! Personally I'd never have trusted the Newfie as he was a nutter, but the Leo would have been the most perfect 'doggy nanny' in the world, bless 'im Sad
