Looks like I won t be riding for a while with this darn broken pelvis.Yesterday as I was taking the gogs out on the bicycle ;the puppy spooked and managed to turn in front while the leash turned the front wheel.  . the doc says its nothing and should be walking in ten days.  |

Do what the doc says - it's hard to stay off the Valk for a while but will pay dividends if you wait.
Heal quick!

Broken Pelvis? I'm sorry you've joined the club, but glad to know you'll be back soon. Sounds like non-displaced fractures and a partial weight-bearing recovery governed by pain management. Right?  |

For in the future, and for other dog/bike riders ........... There are several devices designed to help protect the dog and rider. My favorite is the Springer http://www.springeramerica.com/I had two mounted on my old bicycle, one on each side, and had no problems. Once, with only one dog, the dog bolted off to the side after a cat, and I barely noticed anything. Till the dog barked, that is. The dog weighed about 50 pounds, so it wasn't a gentle tug when he took off. The Springer won't work on my tricycle, however, so I use the Walky Dog (mounted one on the golf cart, too!!) http://www.thedogoutdoors.com/walkydog-dog-bike-leash.html There is a third one I know of, can't recall the name, probably because I didn't like it  but it mounts on the axle, IIRC, and puts the dog entirely behind the bike. I didn't care for that, I prefer to see the dog. |

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

thanks guys , and yes its the lower part bone non weight bearing but it s hard lifting the right leg but then the pain killers help , they were to blame as i had a horrific dental surgery the day before(monday) and probably was under the influence of said pharmaceutical (still am)  but the dogs needed to run! now was i riding a bicycle under the influence?witout a helmet?!  Phillis, I got a lot of these ideas in my head but never built one yet. usually the leads are shorter than they were that day and even remember thinking that. anyhow I ve been doing this with my dogs for years and it is (only?) the third fall(oops) usually loose pit bulls or chihuahuas are the cause  .guess I lll have to plug the battery tender in the valk and time to take it apart.  |

I always use these events to fix stuff that requires a lot of tear down and time. Seems like the older I get, the more time I am on the mend for simple hurts. But my Valk gets a lot more attention! |
