not sure how big she'll get, I checked the website and there's no mention of the size of terrier they think she's mixed with, the chihuaua at the biggest is what 10 lbs? also they don't fit them for the carts until they are 8 months old, that way the expense is only incurred once. they are fitting her with a harness to protect her chest, I am guessing she's getting around very well

not to play on stereotypes, but gay men and building things... no.

plus, if she were my baby, i would want the best for her.

she's the perfect dog for you and your friends oh she could be backstage at the show with her little cart beyond cute oh and they do custom ones with powdered colors

she's beautiful! lookit those eyes. sweet pea is a very lucky critter to have you. i don't know much about dogs. but i have several special needs birds, one of which was never expected to live beyond a few weeks because he has a birth defect of the beak.

i have to monitor him constantly and trim his beak regularly and clean it to be sure he's able to eat.

BUT he's been with me for six years now and is happy and enjoying life and he's definitely worth the effort!

That's so sweet that you adopt birds with special needs. They are more work, but definitely worth it, when you see them surviving and happy.

Most equiptment like that is best made. It really isn't that hard. You can make it of wood or with a metal frame and nylon straps.

Or you can train the dog to walk around on his back two paws.

yes he's a sweetie! sure things get tense when i roll him up in a hand towel and trim his beak (it grows into his mouth, instead of out and down like it should) but then it's all over, he feels better and we're pals again

Ya know, come to think of it, I recently saw a dog on TV that was born without front paws that could walk on her back legs. It was so cute, she looked like a little person.

XxAxX said:

Ouch, that would hurt to have your beak grow into your mouth, that must be painful! Animals seem to sense when we're trying to help them, even though they may not always like the process.

psychodelicide said:

well I did want to say they would then put a jacket on the dog that had human arms.

But seriously, some of the best things can be built out of stuff you find at a petstore and homedepot.

For example, if you got one of those body type harnises for walking dogs, you could then string it up to a metal frame to suport the dog off the ground.

If you have questions ask.

well so far he doesn't seem to be holding a grudge against me and yes i think animals are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. bless them all

They need to distribute the weight equally or hip displacer could appear

katt said:

Oooh that's very true, I never thought of that before. Hip dysplasia would not be good.

psychodelicide said:

ooh, yea. i think a wheeled harness would be better.

cborgman said:

or how about a helium balloon device that would enable sweetie to fly? i mean, why not improve upon her ability to get around?

butterfli25 said:

awwww beautiful little one

butterfli I know someone who went to the company http://www.dogmobile-online.com but this was for back legs you never know they maybe able to make one for the front legs maybe worth contacting. I have been told by a few animal charities this company has been generous in the past.

XxAxX said:

that's just wrong

that's a front wheeled cart.

she could still sleep with you . she would wake and since you would have to let her out anyway. My dog sleeps all night unless he hears something then he just put his head up and listens...lazy boy anyway sweetie don't worry you could still do all that with her. she will be being fostered and the foster parents will work all that stuff out
look at you worrying about her like a mama already
