I definitely don’t aspire to take a dog with me running or cycling. Running is possible with a dog. But the dog needs to be hydrated and rest if you go longer. Cycling would just be mean. The distances you cover are way too long for dogs, even if you go slow. I actually meant that if I go running or cycling, other people’s dogs are a pain. They regularly get in my way when I’m running. I always need to take precautions to maximize the distance to dogs and minimize the potential risk of getting jumped at or even bitten. And swerve around dog poop. For cyclists dogs are a nightmare. If it’s not the dog itself it’s the leash that is potentially very dangerous. Dogs should be banned from bike lanes or smaller bike roads. As for filth: that’s a thing with most pets. Cats are also leaving hair everywhere. Or they scratch your stuff. Birds are also terrible and can be very noisy. And I probably don’t have to remind you when pets get older what a nightmare they become. Why are people walking dogs in bike lanes? Do you not have sidewalks? We do. But especially outside of cities we often have separated bike lanes. If you’re on foot you’re tempted to use the bike lane, because the road is for cars and there might only be a path in the green for hikers (or no alternative at all). It’s fine if you’re walking or jogging and keep to the side. But with a dog that sucks of course. You really need to keep the dog glued to you, otherwise it can cross into someone’s way. Running or walking that already is annoying. But on a bike it can result in a nasty crash.

Right, I'm imagining how hot that street must be on their paws if it gets as hot in the summer where Roman is as it does where I am.

Right, I'm imagining how hot that street must be on their paws if it gets as hot in the summer where Roman is as it does where I am. I don’t know what temperatures dogs can stand. But yeah, I can imagine it can be quite hot. We have all kinds of surfaces on roads and bike lanes. Some are normal tarmac, some paved, some are made of big concrete elements. Luckily it’s very rare for surfaces to melt. But it can be pretty brutal. I notice that when I run through some streets. The sun reflecting on the sidewalk and walls of buildings can push up the temperature quite high.

I MIGHT BE GETTING A KITTEEEENNNNN!!!! Belated update on this.... Here's Trixie (full name is of course Bellatrix LeStrange) on her car ride home: First day exploring around And in Colin's storm trooper helmet And she would like getting on my shoulders (she hasn't done it as much now that she's a little bigger ) *excuse the crazy hair, this was taken after I woke up that day haha* And just a few more for cuteness This last picture is pretty recent, just a few days ago or so. (yes, that gray blur in the background is my other cat)

I have more cat pictures I want to share, but I don't want to entirely spam the thread.

Benjamin keeps climbing up on the kitchen table at meal times and tries to eat the food.
