Coming from the place that brought us doggy yoga, doggy day spa, doggy massage and doggy therapy..is doggy sledding sans snow or sled, but instead a scooter. Urban mushing is the newest California craze to hit the country. A non-motorized scooter is used instead of a sled, which the doggies pull throughout the dry brush. The Southern California Urban Mushing group started in 2005 has about 240 members.
In a city better known for its high-end indoor mall than high-energy outdoor activities, "urban mushing" has taken hold and people are coming from more than two hours away to take part.

Victoria Revay, I am looking forward to your urban mushing photos. If I remember correctly, San Francisco and Chicago have been leaders in the "urban iditarod" zanies. I can remember posting at least one story about this shopping cart insanity, but your story is completely different. Or is it??? Both would have Sam McGee rolling over in his frozen grave.
