Tanner_and_oliver_bike_3

Tanner and Oliver and I enjoy biking together to get our exercise. Even though Oliver, a Papillon, weighs a mere 9 pounds, he is easily able to keep up with his 70-lb. housemate Tanner, the Golden Retriever.

After a recent cancer scare, I switched my family to organic foods and a greener lifestyle. My dogs have come along for the ride, switching to an organic brand, as well. Their healthy coats and energetic vitality are evidence of their good health.

All this change in our lifestyle has turned out to be positive for everyone. It even inspired me to begin sharing our experiences with green living through three Internet blogs. Life is good green!

    I love the picture. I've always wondered though how the dogs don't get tangled into the bike. You must have more talent than I have!

    Notice how I have established the length of each leash with my grip? The dogs naturally tend to pull out as far as the leash allows, to avoid the bike.

    When I turn right, I speed up to get a bit ahead of them for the turn. When I turn left, I slow down a bit to keep them beside me. It works great and we feel like a team when we're done!
