I loved skating as a child, earlier this year I bought some inline skates and gave it a go. It is much harder work as an adult and I am less coordinated now than I used to be but I keep practising.

I would never try it with Max, one squirrel and that would be it Where I walk Max in the mornings a lady started coming alone with her skates. We got chatting and she told me she was getting better and more confident but she couldn't go very fast, which was a shame. I did offer her Max, but for some unknown reason, she declined my kind offer...

Ok, yeh I can imagine dashing over to an emergency is a struggle

O dear!! Starting to sounds like its harder than I remember. I wasnt even very good 10 years ago!

Haha, well I think I would only do it in a park, where I could drop the lead if I was about to fall. Its sounding hard though

Well good luck with it, I'm sure if you keep it up maybe one day you could even take Max! I do have a similar feeling that I will trundle round at walking pace!

Maybe I should go to one of those skating rinks/roller discos for some practise See whether its gonna be a waste of money.
I enjoy cycling and have one at the parents but no room the rest of the time for one I was going to chain one outside but I think it would get stolen!

I used to skate with my dog. He loved it, so did I till he wrapped me round a lamp post while chasing a cat I had the biggest bruise on my backside! lol

Ouch that sounds painful! Hopefully there arent too many lamp posts in parks Glad you used to enjoy it though.

Err, no. Would be a death wish with my dogs!

I used to do it with Sadie but there were no decent paths so we gave it up after my set of rollerblades were wrecked.. Louie like Labradork - would be a deathwish and Benjie - he'd try and eat them as we ran.. plus he doesn't do running..

I wonder if they still play Agadoo and the Time Warp (am really showing my age now )

I would if there were more approriate roads/pathways/parks nearby to skate on.

Jess would love it I think (she loves running with the bike), and I think Harls would love it, although he wouldn't be able to go too far as his stamina is kak and he's lazy lol.
