A Day of Firsts for Harpo

I finally did it! We took Harpo for his first bike ride. He was off leash and we left Groucho Too at home because he can be such a bad influence. We went in the Ridgeline without being in a crate and went to a restaurant to eat afterwards with Harpo leashed outdoors. Everyone who came by wanted to pet and play with him and he absolutely loved it. He is such a big boy now.

I used to love doing that with Jack, I was never brave enough to totally let him off leash, I used a trainer leash that was 50 feet long, He loved it. I also took him to dog friendly restaurants where we could sit outside... He loved it and I loved having him there. It is just another great bonding experience,

I will admit that you have to live in an place with a large enough area for them to run after you on a bike. Harpo (8 months) has just begun to be off leash in areas other than the dog park. He also just finished his basic obedience class and will follow some commands. We are fortunate to live by the old Ft. Ord with 28,000 acres of wild lands behind a university. We only encountered two other young men on bikes while we were out on our ride.
