His first day out!
He is a puller so I put on my knee pads and elbow pads. I couldn't find the wrist guards or hockey helmet, or I would have had them too. I don't have brakes on my hockey skates!
He did not pull towards the road, which was impressive, and a good thing, 2 lanes each way, I was prepared to go to the knee pads. We got off the sidewalk to the side road and started skating. After some initial indecisiveness (you WANT me to pull?) we settled into a good skating pace. He went from pulling to heeling and back a few times, and did fine, except for around overturned garbage cans.
We did a mile, and came home, which is pretty good considering he does not like heat at all (70F), I think the wind effect helped vs walking. I'll have to get him a proper harness and other gear soon, and booties, before the roads get too hot.
