Funny's first "roadwork"

Funny is a teenager - 13+ months old and with all the energy and mischief that goes with the age. She spends hours teasing the other dogs, barking at them - trying to get them to play... and with not nearly enough (in her opionion) success.
SO today I decided to try get a new outlet for all this energy and took my new bicycle and her out.... weird... this thing is noisy.. I have to run on the RIGHT side????? NO WAY!! this is wroonngg and there is a car coming, let me get out of here.... so to cut some very long seconds short, I went heads over the handle bar and she was running loose on the road.
Fortunately the car belonged to a neighbor who was more frigthened then I was (it must have looked pretty dramatic) and Funny just ran to her with a waggy tail.
SO - some training seemed to be in order and we walked up the hill, me, the bike and Funny - teaching her to walk close to the bike AND on the "wrong" side from what she was normally used to.
This went well and after a km of walking we found a quiet closed road and started cycling first without leash and then quickly with leash. Soon Funny was trotting at full speed next to the bike and looking quite pleased with herself :-)
AND she is VERY quiet tonight!
