Springer (bike attachment)

[ramanth]

I purchased the Biker Dog brand and I love it. I haven't had a chance to use it with Chipper yet, but it tires Kia out.

With shipping, it was just under $60. I'm excited, I definitely can't tire Finn out with a walk, there's not enough hours in the day. We have a few things we do with him that tire him out before us, but the Springer will be a great way to do it, too!

Well... I just went to the Springer website and now I have a virus on my computer. I had no other browsers or applications open at the time so...

And of course I was at work. IT will be pleased.

OMG! Wear your earplugs for your meeting with the IT Guy!

Are you sure you really got to the "real" Springer site?
Lots of time when you search for a Brand Name - a dozen or more "dealers"
are shown by the search engines - rather than the original manufacturer.

And HOW did a *bug* get through all the firewalls you must have on your network?


Tell the IT Guy you were just "testing" the network protection -
and you found a "hole" in it!

I went to www.springerusa.com

I was browsing the site and then my computer said there was an error and shut down and restarted on it's own. After restart, it shut down AGAIN and rebooted.

Windows popped up with this message saying there was spyware on my comp. I ran InoculateIT (the antivirus program IT installed) and Ad-Aware. Both programs found nothing wrong but the computer shuts down on it's own at random and the stupid Windows alert keeps popping up.

So I emailed IT.

I hope they don't block my internet.

Oh dear! Well, if it makes you feel better, my computer's virus-y, too. I can't get rid of it, so I've learned to deal with a computer that works when it feels like it. Very very very frustrating, I might add...

That said, I'd love a Springer for Ivy, too, but I wish we had a larger yard more than a Springer. I personally don't have to guts to ride my bike with Ivy and I can't anyways because she's leash reactive

Yeah, our home computer can be buggy too, but I share my work computer with a couple of co-workers and I don't think they would deal. If I don't say anything to IT, they would.
