We are happy to report that another Tripawd is making history, by participating in a sport traditionally done by four legged dogs. Calpurnia, our friend from Colorado who became a tripawd in September, is now competing in canicross with her human, TC.
Canicross, for those that don’t know, is:
The sport of running or walking your dog in harness with equipment similar or the same used for skijoring. Canicross is not simply walking the dog. Running with a dog on a leash is not canicross. In canicross the dog pulls you, just like in skijoring.
Ok, don’t know what skijorking is? Well then, you should check out this website to learn more. I think it’s funny that dogs get to pull their humans on a leash, and get prizes for it! I thought we weren’t supposed to pull? Oh well, humans are weird, aren’t they?
Three barks for Cali!
Calpurnia has celebrated her two year ampuversary! Check out her latest guest blog post from 11/04/09, “Three Paws, Two Years, No Problem!”
I heard you got to meet Jerry in person! WOW! What lucky pups you are!
Calpurnia is a great inspiration to her friends in Colorado!
We love you cali!
