I've been trying to train the doggies on this new little device for the past few months, making them stay together only inches apart on one leash! Although I feel pretty safe, I can see that this huge prego girl coming down the path with these two huge dogs pulling her every which way has made some people feel a little nervous, as seen and heard by their looks and comments! A regular comment made is "Wow, it looks like there taking you for a walk!" After hearing this comment at least a dozen times every time we go out, my courtesy laugh has now turned into half a courtesy smile, your hilarious my friends! The goal is to get them pretty manageable on one leash so when I can start running again after baby is born that I will be able to take the whole crew out running with me, (rockin' two dogs and a jogging stroller!) I've seen it done before and mostly it is just a show for everyone else on the streets watching, so honk and laugh when you see it! Training so far has been going pretty good, a little of an adjustment at first with the constant bumping of heads, tangles, choking, learning to stop when the other has to go to the bathroom, etc. but now it is mostly Bella leading Lola. However now more than ever Lola feels the need to be right by Bella's side all of the time, whether Bella wants her there or not! It cracks us up!

Down to unwrapping there Christmas spoils next to each other! Although now I think Bella is finding out that this is not all that bad and that it has somewhat inspired a team effort on her part. The other day I looked out the window in the back yard and wished I had my camera near by as to capture this little moment: Bella was standing under this bush/tree in our back yard as Lola jumped her two front paws on Bella's back in attempt to reach some sticks to pull off the tree for them to both play with and chase each other around the yard and then completely destroy into slivers all over afterwards! Great team effort guys, too funny!

That is so cute! I would love to see it! I get very easily annoyed by people's stupid comments so I can imagine what it's like in your shoes...good job with the courtesy responses!
I thought about getting one of those the other day, until our 2 maniac dogs got into a fight with each other as Piper & I were walking them by the neighbor's dog. I gave up walking the dog and taking the stroller by myself. Good luck!
That is totally rad! they are the cutest dogs and I am so glad they are such good friends!! Love ya and cant for lil baby girl to!!! :)
I could have used one of those devices the other day. I went for a walk with my dogs while pulling my son in his wagon. It was not a very relaxing walk. My Border Collie kept freaking out over the wagon and even though we've cut off the German Shepherd's manhood he insists on peeing on every tree/bush/snowbank. I was happy when we finally got back to the house. I hope the jogging stroller works out a little better for you.
I wish I had the patience to train dogs. That is so cute.
