FINISHED (mostly)


Well here is the mostly fished product I know it is a little tall but the mostly part will fix that. The cushion isn't quite done yet. I did ride it down a hill in front of my house.

He didn't like it at first. He tried climbing over me. Anyways after about 3 rides he was ok with it. I am hoping the cushion will be done so we can take it out today and try it.




P.S. Yes the turtle is real. He is a African Sulcata Tortoise aka Spur Legged Tortoise. He is only about 40 lbs. right now. They can get over 100 lbs. and some can grow over 150 lbs.

Cool dog compartment and cool tortoise. How long have you had the tortoise and how long can that breed live? Does it stay outside all the time?

Turtles are cool. I stop to help them cross roads whenever I come across them. Called the state police once when there was a snapper about the size of yours in the highway. They responded, "... a turtle is in the road?" and I said, "Yes, and its likely to flip a small car if its hit and its probably 30-50+ years old so how about someone come out and light her up so she can cross the road safely."

I've owned 9 reptiles over the years. Currently down to one crested gecko (5 years in to a 20+ year life expectancy).

We actually bought the tortoise when we were at NABX THey live 100+ years and it is only 8 years in this pic. I use to stop for them and help them but there are so many here that I was topping like 10 or more times in a mile so I only stop for bigger ones now.

I have 3 Snakes; A burmese, a Lavender Albino Retic, and a green anaconda. I have the tortoise. 4 dogs; 3 huskies and a black lab. I also have 4 Leopard geckos. and 2 cats. Oh and 2 Salamanders. I think that may be everything.

You guys should come down to GA and hit Jekyll Island, they have an awesome Sea Turtle rescue center, where they deal with all kinds of turtles, tortoises, and terrapins (oh my)... not to mention the best beach to ride on in the South East!!!



I'm going to take a nap now

My grand-dad's poodle rode on his trail motorbike.
at first he had a more enclosed container(like a milk box). then as time when by the dog got skills/balance and all that was required was a small flat carpeted platform that rested on gas tank and was simply bungied to bike. it could put attached in just seconds.
as your dog gets used to the buggy i'm sure you could pare down quite a bit of the platform.

He will be able to see over the top once the Cushion is in. It is 4 inches thick and its not to soft but enough to provide some cushion for the bounce.
