Scott thought it would be fun to train Sissy to use a harness and pull something, like an old foam sled with a weight on it. Besides, she likes to try pulling me on the leash, why not pull something on the snow. Maybe skijoring is in our future? Scott thought it would be good winter excercise, for Sissy.
Sissy isn't too keen on the idea of it all. The noise the sled makes sliding along, having something trailing her, other than me... She stops alot, jumps around trying to get away from it. When she can't, she lays down and barks at Scott when he trys to coax her to come toward him.
After awhile she get better, once she's started down the drive, heading out toward the road. With Scott beside her she thinks she's going for a walk. There's little resistance in weight and speed on packed snow.
Until now ... not going to happen, jumping from 20 pounds to 100+ pounds on the sled, Nope she says.
The closer she gets to the house the more she's distracted by this THING that's following her! And it starts all over...
After quite a few trips up and down the drive and over to the shop and back, they both had had enough... excercise for Scott and excitement for Sissy that is. : )
