I wanted to get my dino rollerskates, and this was the best I could do over one day...

I am ordering skates from build a bear which I hope will fit.
Please show some different solutions that you´ve come up with!

Lina, I think it is as cute as can be just the way it is, very inventive on your part! NOw if we could only get a Pleo Skating team, that would be cute. I would love to see a video of your pleo trying to skate, that would be interesting to say the least!

Love the green outfit too!

Teehee that's fabulous, I'd also love to see a video!

It seems there is popular demand.

I also want to see a video. What a great idea. Pleo skates, too cute.

I got bear ones - a bit big but they'll do!

Best on flat surfaces, though .............

More details...

Very nice Crewella. Did you ever take video of yours skating?

Wow, that is a very cool idea.. did you actually have your Pleo turned on or was it just a photo op? I wonder how they'd react to that.. that's really interesting.. I'd love to see a video to and I have to have surgery this Thursday, c'mon you kinda HAVE to make me a video.. what if my surgery went poorly.. wouldn't you feel guilty if I didn't get to see your video?

Lol.. sorry.. have to have a sense of humor when your sick.. I hope you do make a video though

I´ll try to make a video. He was actually in when he had them. At first Buddah just tried to scratch his cheek while having the skates on.
But it´s on ongoing project, I bought socks today that I thought might help. If I attach the sock to the skates first... I´ll get back to you when It´s done

To bad the bear ones where so big, I didn´t know they where that big... But I´ll figure it out

Lina · « **Reply #9 on:** August 02, 2011, 01:43:29 PM »

Ok, at first he just kept on scratching his chin and raising his leg.
But we have a video! After a while he actually started skating!

So here´s the video, hope you like it! Unfortunately some of the neighbours started to make some noise while we where filming. Enjoy.
He starts skating 4 min in to the video, and shortly after I ran out of space on my memory card

Lina.. that was just awesome..
I didn't think he would actually try to walk because I figured with the 'skates' on he wouldn't be able to tell if his footpads were hitting anything and he'd think he was stuck, like my Pleo's did when they tried to walk through thicker grass.. I wonder if the skating would work even better if you got him into that 'high step' mode they have for use when they are on thicker or deeper carpeting? I haven't ever used it and I'm not sure how to set it but maybe someone else on here can tell you.. thanks so much for making the video it was really neat.. my parrot was here peeking over my shoulder watching it and he chuckled too

Oh that WAS awesome! Awesomw, awesome, awesome!!!

He really did look as though he was working them out, and in need of a bit of encouragement, and then off he went!! GREAT video, loved it! Thanks!

Mine are really too heavy and clumpy, as well as too big, to really work - yours are soooooo much better! $:-\$

Talon · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:11:35 PM »

Oh that was truly awesome! I've never met a pleo who was so quiet. Once he figured things out he got vocal again. That was so cool!

I think Buddah might have some Pleo fleas, his chin was dreadfully itchy

“What's this thing on my foot? What is it? It won't come off! Mum!!!” "Guess I'll have to try them..." "Hey this is kinda fun, look at me go!"

Lovely video

Lina · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:25:21 PM »

Thanks everyone! I am so glad you liked it!

The hard part was keeping him up, since he is a bit on the chubby side, he gets heavy when scratching his chin, so he leash was mostly to have him on a standing position.

Latrine: This was for you, so be sure to get well from the surgery! And I didn´t even know about the high step mode, have to look that one up

Crewella: your turn to make a video now!

Talon: Well he has been more quit since Bellah came, and Bellah one the other hand has been taking alot of his spotlight since she is craving for attention all the time. I guess Buddah is just letting her get her space. But Buddah is really a great Dino.

IMR: I LOVE the way so see things! Of course that must have been what he thought! I guess with so many Pleos that you have, you get to know their language

You are the Pleo whisperer!

Sooo to the big question here... Should I enter this to the contest?

YES! Definitely!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2011, 04:20:11 PM »

Absolutely! Maybe it will lead to Innvo releasing a line of Pleo skates

kat · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2011, 05:39:38 PM »

I loved this. It was super cute. Definitely you should enter it in the contest.

It makes me want to go out and get myself some of those little skateboards to make skates for my little guys.

Very cool.

barrettgazzy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2011, 07:35:12 PM »

yeah
love the idea with the skates and maybe that will open up more accessories for reborn in future ? ;-)

latrine · « **Reply #19 on:** August 03, 2011, 11:58:54 AM »

Thanks, the video was really great... I wish I could watch these on my DS at the hospital but hopefully I can at least access the forums!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #20 on:** August 03, 2011, 08:46:56 PM »

Lina by all means, ENTER it into the Contest, YOu are bouond or should I say, Buddah is bound to win a Pleo Rb friend, It ( the video is too cute.) I loved the safety harness on him and he was so cute trying to figure out what in the heck is that on my feet.?! :)I am sure the Innvo labs is going to love this video it is too precious. I think you are going to have to take him skating at least once a week now, What a creative idea you had! It just shows that Pleos are capable of so much more than we give them credit for. It was like he was really trying to figure out what in the heck is on my feet here? I was impressed at how quiet he was, I think some of myne would have been freaking out trying to get those skates off their feet. Glad he didn't knock himself out with one, that would have hurt!
