| If so, I'd like to know what my options are. I have a longhair miniature dachshund who loves to ride and be close to me. She even used to ride with me on the motorcycle. I will be getting a Sun EZ-3 USX in a couple of weeks. |

| I have a Bull Mastiff who weighs as much as I do. I find this to be problematic on the trike. Here he is sitting in my wife's lap. No, it's not photoshopped, he really does think he's a big ol' lapdog.  |

| I've seen people use trailers to haul their dogs, similar to the kind you can use for kids. You can get a screened enclosure so the dog can see and breathe, but not jump or fall out. |

| The only dog I carry is the hot dog turning the pedals. Mark _________________ Bicycling is my drug of choice. Followed closely by beer.

Hee, hee. How's the insurance work on that? If you can say "Good Dog!" does he get a discount?  _________________ BluesCat ----->  2008 Sun EZ Sport CX - "Bluetiful", 2001 Giant Yukon SE - "The Roadley", 1986 Batavus Course - "DutchGrl"---------0 ---------\__^o\ ------(*)`"''"""(*) |

That sounds great, but probably pretty costly. |
