As it turned out, she did like the jogger that Tommy had salvaged from the dump. We had a winner! It didn&#8217;t take Princess Ginger long to &#8220;load up&#8221; on command and off we went. People encountered on the road variously think we are cute or ridiculous, and one neighbor exclaimed &#8220;Now that&#8217;s an ugly baby!&#8221; He was wrong, of course. Ginger is cute! And the jogger is now a routine part of life.<\/p>\n<p>But then &#8230; we took our bikes on vacation. Now&#8230; if Ginger can&#8217;t keep up walking, she surely can&#8217;t go along on a bike ride. Hmmmm&#8230;  that is, unless we have a bike trailer! We shopped on craigslist and almost bought one but it didn&#8217;t fold. Found a really cool custom one in Oregon but it was way too much money. Then, Ed bought one cheap at a garage sale and he <em>gave <\/em>it to us. Woo Hoo! Today I bought a &#8220;pup tent&#8221; to keep Ginger safely enclosed while riding. She likes it! The real trick is going to be teaching Noche to run calmly alongside a bicycle.
