The Croozer Mini's Maiden Voyage

The Pups had their maiden voyage in the new bike trailer today.  It wasn't quite as wonderful as I had pictured in my head.  Brian pug screamed the whole time, and dug a small hole in the side of the trailer.  Betty just looked really neurotic, but I think it's because she was worried Brian was going to crush her eardrums and her self.  If you have never heard a pug scream you can't quite imagine how strange and unsettling it is.  It sounds like a tropical bird + a baby + that squeaky noise buses sometimes make when they are stopping minus any noise a dog usually makes.  It's not that they didn't like the trailer, they were just really excited to get to the dog park. 

The Croozer Mini was extremely easy to pull.  I have never pulled a bike trailer before, and the small size of the Croozer Mini was very easy to maneuver.   I couldn't really notice it except it was a bit harder to hill start.  It's a tight squeeze for two pugs, but not so tight that it's worth moving up to The Croozer for non-mini dogs.  (End product review.)

And for the record, I did not choose the name of the trailer, The Croozer Mini is the brand name.  Normally I am extremely opposed to products or company names which are intentionally misspelled, but this one has grown on me.  However, I'm still open to suggestions.
