Dog is my Copilot
She peers over his shoulder as the bike rounds the corner. “On your left” takes on a whole new meaning when it’s a terrier muzzle that’s pointing the way. From trailers to tethers to backpacks, dog lovers have found all manner of methods to include their furry family member in their cycling passion. My group
Amazing What a Little Dog Can Do
My best friend and soulmate has left us. He’d lived a rich and full life and enriched mine beyond measure. He left us much like he had arrived. Quietly and close. From the moment he joined me on my morning walk so many years ago until we finally parted, he was my closest and best
