Yeah people are dumb sometimes aren't they?

Lol that's crazy xD My best friend used to refer to Misty as a golden Lab lol. Golden Lab is actually what Golden Retriever Lab mixes are usually called.
It's just so funny to me when people think Lab colors are so different. Chihuahuas are different color, but nobody thinks of them being different breeds xD Like people say "I have a Yellow Lab", nobody says "I have a brown Chihuahua". Idk that's just weird to me lol.

Lol I saw that on FB too
And I had a quick look at the comments
Most people were saying its wrong (was it born naturally or made in a laboratory?)
And I saw one comment that said "wouldn't that just make it a mutt!"
Lol wot?
So obviously people do think yellow, black and chocolate labs are different breeds

It's a genetic mutation, it wasn't intentional. It's kind of like a crazy mismark. It's all natural though :3
And lol its so crazy how people think that xD It's just colors the breed comes in like every other breed comes in different colors lol, idk when people started thinking they were different breeds!

It's like the chamira cat
If you google it the cat is like a tort but half it's face is black and the other is brown and the line is almoat perfectly straight and even down the middle of its face.
It even has a yellow eye on the black side and a blue eye on the brown
Reminds me of two-face

I've seen that x3

Here's a Golden Retriever with the same mutation.

This is going to seem completely off topic at first.

Does anyone here roller skate at all?

You see, I've been thinking about nixing a bike and grabbing a pair of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOw9ZK6pgeQ instead. They seem light weight and very mobile with a limited effort turn radius and flexibility. Or my other option would be modifying my riedell quads (http://www.skates.com/Riedell-Cobalt-12 ... cobalt.htm). These suckers are super heavy, but the boots are very sturdy and well made... I'd have to modify them by slapping extended trucks and large all terrain wheels like this:
Honestly, both options would be about the same price.

So, for a dog pulling (finally got to the dog part); which do you think would be the better option?

Omg, I was literally just thinking about learning to roller skate with my dogs just today because this morning I watched the movie Whip It and it's about roller derbies xD What a coincidence lol.

When I was younger and my parents had the two huskies my dad would take them out on the scooter
They loved it
It wasn't one of those tiny razor scooters it was like this

But I'm sure the tires were thicker too

I tried walking one with my rollerblades on but they would pull me over lol they loved to run

Not to derail the topic bbuuuttt.. Roller skating is really the best. I've thought about trying out for our local derby team several times, but it come down to me really not having enough time to do it. Granted, if I did try and make it I think it'd start to suck the fun out of it since I do it as a very relaxing leisurely thing, like once I'm on skates the world just completely melts away, its so so therapeutic. One of the reasons I'm thinking about throwing Juniper into the mix once she's old enough.. I can have the two best things ever combined into one!

Heh, this is the stuff I'm more interested in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ssvDbTdsOQ Jam skating. My skates are just a bit two heavy for since they are literally made for derby. D:< This video makes my heart flutter in amazing ways~



@ Jelly: You probably have the wrong type of roller blades? Normal everyday roller skates are plastic shell that flimsy, the barrings are crap.. Fine for everyday stuff, but you will be pulled over by a dog or your outtershell will crack. >_>; What I'd consider a 'basic' inline skate and what most people have.

Racing:

What you'd probably want for pulling: These MIGHT work, but they are border line racing. Super light weight. These would be ideal: or any nice heavy skate with 2-3 large wheels. Racing inlines aren't BAD for pulling, but they tend to be really light and sensitive.
