So if you had a big Siberian husky and a skateboard, and you wanted to make walking the dog more interesting, or at least faster, wouldn't you combine the two?
A guy in my neighborhood has been trying to do that. We first saw him a week or so ago. He was skating along with the dog trailing behind, looking rather bemused. Occasionally the dog would dart off to the side, man and skateboard would part, man and dog would negotiate, and the process would start over again.
Tonight as I was coming downstairs I saw them again through the transom window over my front door. This time the dog was trotting along in front, straight ahead, with the man in tow on the skateboard. Solidly on the skateboard, knees flexed, one hand holding the lead and the other stretched out for balance.
