I wish I had a picture of Dave as he carried Mishka in a black, oversized book bag around his neck as he pedaled a mountain bike down our road toward Alice's road. Mishka's head peeked out of the bag as her ears and tongue flew in the brisk wind. Dave was smiling too. When we turned on Alice's road where there was less traffic, (We probably saw 3 cars the whole time we were on bikes on either road.) we stopped, lowered the bag to the ground and dumped her out. Then we rode on and Mishka ran with us. She was having a great time running along with us. Sometimes she trotted and took her time and sometimes she ran all out and kept up with me as I breezed down a hill!!! She is fast. Since this was our first experiment with riding bikes with Mishka, we only pedaled about a half mile down Alice's road, turned around and rode back home, again placing Mishka in the large, black book-bag when we reached the highway. My thigh muscles were swearing at me and saying: "What do you think you are doing!!!!????"
They quieted down when we got home.
What a nice day it was. Just the three of us.
