A Boy and his Dog...

Well, ok...maybe it's more like a man, his bike and our dog...

Someday we want to take Daffy with us on our mountain bikes. But first we needed to see how Daffy would do near a moving bike.

We knew for sure that Ingrid hadn't ridden a bike around Daffy but wasn't sure what experience she might have had at the farm where she lived before finding Ingrid.

So we loaded the bike and Daffy in the car and off to Skyline Forest we drove.

The gate at the fireroad is still closed so we knew there would be no car traffic. Not any bike traffic either as far as that goes!

Naturally, Daffy did great!

We started off on the fire road, first with Jim walking his bike and I had Daffy on a long leash letting her walk where she wanted. She wasn't afraid of the bike at all. 

We took her off her leash and Jim rode on the road slowly. Daffy stayed right there with him.

Ears up and away we go...faster this time.

Such a good girl Daffy!

'Let's go again!!'

Next we tried the mountain bike trail. A narrower singletrack trail that has twists and turns.

Again, she did great!

Daffy leading the way!

Such a sweet and smart girl!
