as in, to make your furry running partner carry his/her own water on long dry runs? I took my Golden Retriever on a 9+ mile trail run last weekend, and the creeks are already dry. Felt bad for him, he was frothing at the mouth, and the temp was only in the 60's-70's. I'd like to keep him running with me all summer, but he'll have to carry his own H2O.
There are a few different brands out there, but I'd appreciate any reviews from forumites....  |

we have one for our golden...but he carries OUR water. dumb dog won't drink water when we take him anywhere unless it's a creek. We got ours from REI...it's a Kelty K9 chuckwagon. I have a hard time getting to stay straight on him. Not sure if it's the product or operator error. 
here's Tonka a few days ago on a hike with us...

yah. he's a big old oof! the sweetest, dopiest, easy going dog ever. I have never run with him, can you believe it? Mostly because I always had kids with me until this last fall and dogs are only allowed on the boardwalks early in the morning or late in the afternoon. After the RnR, I may start getting him out there this summer.  Right now, I'm not willing to do a short run with him and the distance I run now would kill him.  |

I have a cat with a personality like that. Only he's big, fat, and lazy--though he's our king mouser (our cats are all indoor, but they keep our old house rodent-free...we still have had 2 bats and a squirrel in here that we have managed to help back to the outdoors where they belong). I can't imagine Thor running, however. The only time he runs is when it's meal-time!
