There are direct actions that you can do to convert one of the car lanes into a pedestrian lane.
I'm not taking the chances with my dog.
Can you get a bicycle trailer for your dog? I appreciate you shouldnt have to, but im just thinking about your dog's interests.
Aww, you're very sweet. Thank you for harbouring such consideration.
I've considered this, for years really, but I'm unsure how well it'd go. He's a bit of a handful when he's in cars, and I'm not sure how well he'd take to being driven around in a bicycle. In the past I usually hook him up to the bicycle and he runs alongside me. He's a husky/akita mix from a rescue in Ireland, so he's a bit of work partially because of his breeds and partially because of his rocky past.
A day will come when he won't be able to enjoy running as much, and I've thought that we could continue to enjoy our bike rides with some kind of trailer. Though I'm unsure if he'd get much joy from it, since he lives to run.
Got a text from the vet earlier today; he's got a bacterial infection in his intestine, so we'll be going on a big antibiotics regimen and switch up the feed a little. I'm so happy it's something that's treatable. Been anxious about it for a while now and it's like a weight has been lifted.
