I just have to share today's news with you all. Since last November, I have been walking miles each day to improve my health. I had an idea that it would be nice to have a dog to walk with me and hence the arrival of Thatcher, known as Tatty to her friends. Unfortunately Tatty isn't quite so keen on the idea of walking as I am. By the time we've trotted to the lift, gone down 23 floors and crossed the lobby of our apartment building Tatty's tired and ready to go home.

It's been such a disappointment for me, she's at home and I'm still out walking alone but I had an idea - let's get a dog pram. Hubby, S, took quite some convincing, it's not something that you'd want to be seen with in England - you'd be laughed at in the street, but we'll be walking around Manhattan, Hoboken and Jersey City and here, anything goes.
So the pram, a top of the range
Pet Gear AT3 Generation 2 All-Terrain Pet Stroller arrived today and we were straight out of the door to enjoy the lovely weather and do a bit of shopping in Hoboken. Tatty took turns at walking and then riding in the pram when she was tired and best of all she loved it. A few people did do a double take, a woman in a car was heard saying "did you see that dog in a carriage?". Meeting up with us on her way home from school, our daughter, F, completely disowned us but I don't care, we'll be out again in the morning doing a good 5 miles, Tatty and me, the two of us together.

I'm very pleased to be able to report that Tatty graduated from her pram later in 2012 and has been happily walking on all four legs ever since!!! :D
