the wagonette

After a great few days at the dog show... it was time to be home again and tending to the things around the farm. Our little wagonette.... when we bought this, we tried Duke and very quickly discovered that the shafts that came with it where too tight for him. So, Ed went and got the parts and pieces for a new set of shafts, and while I was away at the show, he was able to finish up the work and put them on the cart. We decided to see how Duke like this set. It was an easy hitch and Duke seems quite happy with these new shafts...
A perfect summer Sunday evening was just the time to go for a drive. We've been keeping a "path" mowed around the field to use a driving/riding road. (I don't feel very safe going out onto the main street this time of year...)  and with the wagonette.. we gave it a try...
With it's big wheels, it pulls great. Duke  had no troubles taking it over grass or along the drive way. It's super comfortable for the passengers as well, and I am looking forward to offering rides for anyone who wishes to go....
and, it's cute.  I can easily carry four adults, but I'm sure some kiddos could squish in there as well. Duke won't even notice the extras on board...
It sits high... so the views are good, and I like being able to have good vision all around us. That will make it very nice when we do venture out on the road... or anywhere else ..


"Thanks buddy... that was a nice ride"....
