gooeydog Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Since it's cold outside, I've tried to find as many inside exercises (or easy for me outside ones :lol: ) for the dogs as possible. I got a manual treadmill from my sister last fall for them, but couldn't figure out how to get it to turn easier, and even Goo had to really work to get it moving, so it didn't get hardly any use. The other night, I dragged it out, determined to figure out how to make it spin easier (and outfitted with all tool necessary to take it apart and make my own "mods" :roll: ). While looking it over, I noticed two adjustment screws at the base of it :oops: ... duhhhhh. So anyway, the girls (Goo and Annie, though I'm hoping to get Casey and Joey on it too) have been learning how to operate it in short sessions over the past few days. Annie took right to it, but Goo isn't too impressed with the "moving ground", so we're working on making it more fun for her, and she seems to be doing better, she's wagging her tail when she's going, and starting without hesitation. Anyway, here are some pics of them from the other day (I think their 3rd time on it).... Goo "Are you serious? I don't think so, I only walk outside...." "Phew, this thing is harder to walk on than the ground, that's for sure"(BTW, her feet aren't that splayed, I think she was trying to get a bit more leverage and stability) Annie Haley, meanwhile, was sprawled out in the dining room snoozing :lol: And also, a few more of Annie playing tug outside Quote

imported_Debbie Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Goo looked like :o , stop the world and let me off !!!! And Haley was looking like...."Don't EVEN try and make me get up there !!!!!" :lol: :lol: Quote
gooeydog Posted February 19, 2005 Author Posted February 19, 2005 Yes, Goo doesn't enjoy it as much as Annie, so I doubt she'll be using it much, and Haley has enough issues with walking on still ground, nevermind a treadmill, but she sure did look like she was gloating to the others :lol: Quote
AllAmericanPUP Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 annie is really a pit bull in disguise :lol: I hope to get my dogs on the tread mill soon :D Quote
