Oh my Lord. What idiots the human race are. Okay we road work our LARGE Breed dogs behind a van. But there are two people the driver and the dog with the "watcher" out back in the van. The beginning speed is like 2mph. For 10 minutes at a time. Good effing grief... a Yorkie behind an Explorer? To wear out all the pad skin and to break nails? God in all that is good, don't let me meet this woman.

At a show once in the States, I let Magic play with the kids in an asphalt parking lot. They were throwing a toy, and he was fetching it. I was appalled to see when we stopped and went into our room he had lifted the skin under one paw pad. It was about 40minutes of play, but it had been a warm day. I pulled him from the show. And cursed myself, and immediately did first aid on his paw, with epsom salt baths, and spray dis-infectant. Anyone ever tried to bandage a paw with vet wrap? Well I gave up and went to the store for some liquid bandaid. I nursed him that whole weekend angry so angry with myself for letting him get injured. I also visited the vet on site at the show to have his paw looked at.

I just don't get why anyone would try to road train a Yorkie with a blinking car. Maybe and only maybe a bicycle.
