Build Your Own Dog Wagon

Posted by michael on from the mush dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Philip Greenspun isn't the only Web-site innovator with an interest in dogs, airplanes, photography, and travel. While Kyler Laird appears to operate on a budget that's a couple of orders of magnitude lower, his description of adventures in dog-cart development exhibit the same virtues of technical specificity and lucidity."

      Yeah, but if you use undomesticated breeds, it becomes a "baying-wolf" cluster.

  6. Kyler Laird is creepy by Karma+Star · · Score: 3, Funny

    I knew him back in college. He used to stalk my roommate, and things got so bad that she needed to get a restraining order against him. Eventually, she transferred to a different school...

      Just curious, was your roomate a retriever or a terrier?

      Kyler might have had certain breed-specific obsessions. Stalking is always bad manners, and generally well-trained canines do not indulge in this behavior.

      I'm glad your roomate managed to get him restrained. Hopefully it was a harness and not just a collar.
