This is not a well-known activity but I wonder if anyone else has tried? Did you enjoy it?

I'd rather just do dogsledding. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Yes, it is a great ride especially if you hook up more like 4 or 5 dogs (I call this "skledding"). As for killing your guinea pig, I am definitely not surprised. One of my big females almost killed a small weiner dog!
