I finally tried it

1 excited Bichon frise + a puppy harness + a light kicksled

Well, I finally did it! Jacques got loose and chased me down while I was running the big team yesterday, so I figured that if he wanted to go that bad, I'd let him.
He sure loved it! His tail wagged almost the entire way. We didn't go very far though. When we got home, he turned around and tried to do it again, lol. The harness I used this time was way too big, but he has a bright red, custom-made harness with his name stitched on it heading here .
I was kind of worried about him getting snow build-up on his legs and feet, so we stopped a lot so that I could check them. My mom is making him a set of matching booties with a jacket right now.

A picture that I took after Jacques passed me and allowed me to push the sled for him (shh, he doesn't know that I was helping).
