Double Jogging Strollers Reviews

Double Jogging Strollers -
Sometimes walking down the street is too far for some pets. Or maybe you have a pet that doesn't quite fit the typical pet that you would walk, like a: cat, turtle, bird, rabbit, reptile, fish, hamster, you get the idea. The pet stroller maybe the answer for animal lovers who like to take their pets everywhere with them but can't find a carry bag that quite fits their style.

My teacup Chihuahua is a stubborn little thing. But then again I need to put my feet in her "paws" so to speak. Nala is barely 4 pounds. We have one large Golden Retriever Cali, one slightly larger than average Chihuahua Makana (about 12 lbs), and Nala who is always straggling behind. If you watch closely she must need to take five more steps then Makana and 50 more steps than Cali's one step stride.

If I walk the three dogs up and down our street, Cali pulls out in the front on her own leash. I have two leashes connected together so Makana and Nala can adjust to their own pace, usually behind me. One guy saw me walking the Chihuahuas and said, "Looks like they're walking you." My thought, well I am the alpha dog. Don't know what that says for Cali who I usually let off her leash because I'm walking too slowly for her and to keep pace with all three sets of paws at times is comical.

Here Are the Top Five Reasons I Would Use a Pet Stroller

1. Go on longer walks with Cali for exercise and be able to bring the two smaller ones. Then if Makana gets tired, she too can hop in the stroller with Nala and be outdoors enjoying the scenery without rebelling and plopping her little butt down and pulling at her leash, indicating to me that she's not going any further, thank you.

2. Little Girls Love to Push Strollers

Our eight year old wants to push the stroller. Better yet dressing up her dogs and putting them in a stroller.

3. It's Too Hot Outside

We live in Orlando Florida where the heat index this past summer was as high as 107 degrees. We couldn't go out in the day because of the heat and the dogs would have burned the pads of their paws. Even as the sun was setting, the heat was still with us. Having a stroller would allow me to take the dogs for a walk and if they were overcome by the heat, which I wouldn't allow to go that far, as Nala could just walk down the drive way and pull at her leash saying to me, "I'm not going."

4. Protection From Other Aanimals

Often times people don't have control of their own dogs and/or have them off leash and their dog runs over to my dogs and freak them out causing chaos. If I had them in a pet stroller, other dogs are less likely to run over to see what's in the stroller and try to sniff them.

5. Pets are People Too

The number five reason I would use a stroller, and possibly why the women down the street pushes her baby dog in one, because they are our children. Yes pet owners across the country love their pets and would do anything to keep them near to them. So if anything else, it would be a great way to take them into the parks and shopping and just walking further than our little pet paws will take them.

Side Note

I'd like to say that my husband and I had commented about the woman in our neighborhood who pushes her pet in the stroller. I can see her side, but a man most likely wouldn't be caught pushing a real dog in a pet stroller.

It is believed that the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was actually a native from the East Coast. A popular theory is that Billy the Kid was born Henry McCarty in New York City in 1859. However, no real solid facts are known about Billy the Kid's early life, including his parents, family, birthdate, or birth place. Other than Billy the Kid, he was also known as William H. Bonney. The first mention of Billy the Kid's nickname was by a reporter for the Las Vegas Gazette in 1880.

In his early teens, Billy the Kid's family settled in Silver City, New Mexico. After Billy's mother died, he soon became involved in all sorts of illegal activities. He was a cattle rustler and horse thief. Billy the Kid was involved in more than a few gunfights. Billy was known for his quick temper and expert ability with a gun. Billy the Kid is rumored to have killed 21 men, but there is no proof of this.

By the 1870s, Billy the Kid was hanging around New Mexico. There were several land disputes going on in the United States territory at the time. Billy the Kid became involved in a dispute over land as well. Billy teamed up with John Tunstall in what would become known as the Lincoln County War. This war was a struggle for power between cattle ranchers and landowners.

The Lincoln County War was the result of several feuds amongst many different parties. But the most violent and famous feud was between Englishman John Tunstall and Irishman James Dolan. Both men wanted power and political control of Lincoln County. Dolan had the backing of the local sheriff and Billy the Kid's gang, which was led by Jesse Evans.

Billy the Kid started not getting along with members of his own gang, especially the leader Jesse Evans. Billy eventually switched sides after being offered a job by Tunstall. Billy the Kid was on good terms with members of the community and friends with Tunstall's employees. Billy the Kid started using the new name, William H. Bonney, and hoped for a new beginning as well.

The Lincoln County War hit the boiling point when deputies were sent to Tunstall's ranch to collect cattle as a result of embezzlement charges being made against Tunstall's business partner, Alex McSween. To avoid the capture of his horses, Tunstall herded the horses to nearby Lincoln, New Mexico. When the deputies arrrived at Tunstall's ranch, they sent a posse after Tunstall and his men. Most of the posse were members of Billy the Kid's former gang.

The posse caught up with the Tunstall group in a canyon. Tunstall was shot down in cold blood. The rest of the group found cover behind some large boulders. Warrants were issued for the killers. Billy the Kid was deputized by the constable to help serve the warrant.

However, Sheriff Brady refused to allow the men to be arrested. Instead, the sheriff arrested the constable and his deputies. They were all three jailed. The constable was released in a few hours, but Billy the Kid and the other deputy were held in jail for two days.

Soon after, a gang called the "Regulators" was formed. Billy the Kid was one of its first members. Their goal was to go after Dolan's men. The first members of Dolan's gang that were killed were Bill Morton and Frank Baker. They had surrendered to the Regulators, but were killed anyway. The Regulators believed that if they turned the two over to the sheriff, that there would be no punishment for their crimes. The next man that was killed was thought to be a spy. Then members of the Regulators, including Billy the Kid, set up an ambush. They killed Sheriff Brady and deputy George Hindmann. The last one of Dolan's boys to be shot and killed was Buckshot Roberts.

Dolan then enlisted the aid of the Fort Stanton army. The army surrounded Alex McSween's house. Several of the Regulators, including Billy the Kid, were there. The men were trapped. After a stand-off that lasted five days, the house was torched. The men started to panic, and Billy the Kid took control of the situation. Part of the men were to create a diversion by running toward Tunstall's store while the rest of the men escaped toward the river.

When nighttime came, the men attempted escape. Billy the Kid led his gang toward the store, while McSween and the rest of the group went toward the river. Gun shots started erupting from the store, so Billy the Kid and his men headed for the river as well. This would be the final battle in the Lincoln County War. When all was said and done,one member of the Dolan gang was killed. Four Regulators and Alex McSween were shot and killed.

Billy the Kid went on the run. A year later, Billy agreed to surrender and testify against the other parties involved in exchange for a pardon. When the pardon was slow in coming, Billy the Kid was on the run again.

Billy the Kid was captured and arrested in 1881. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to hanging in Lincoln, New Mexico. Out of all of the participants who participated in the Lincoln County War, Billy the Kid was the only one tried or convicted of any crimes.

Billy the Kid escaped by killing two deputies, Bob Olinger and James Bell. Months later, Billy the Kid was found, shot, and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett. The western outlaw was just 21 years old. Billy the Kid was buried at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. A tombstone was placed there in the 1940s. It had been stolen three times before the gravesite was secured with a metal cage.

Sheriff Pat Garrett later wrote a book about the exploits of Billy the Kid, called The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid. It tells of Billy the Kid's exploits, including his part in the Lincoln County War. This book, as well as many movies, have helped immortalize Billy the Kid.
