New to the forum and just have to say I love this post, particularly the section about your dog. I read it out loud to my wife and we both cried.
I have two dogs, one of which is an 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Guinness. He had surgery for luxating patella on both knees when he was very young. He is still very spry, but my wife and I can tell he is starting to get achy.He will just come to a stop in the middle of a walk. When that happens, we just pick him up and carry him home. At 12 lbs, that is doable. I am dreading the day when he is in too much pain to walk. I love your solution particularly since it obviously gave him some relief. We have a mini doggyride trailer that converts to a stroller.We got it years ago when he was having his knee surgeries. At least we are ready to go when it becomes too much for him to walk at all. Thanks again for the story and the pictures. I hope your dog continues to feel better. Best, Ty Smith San Mateo,CA Here are Guinness and Penny in the trailer doing a test-run on my Xtracycle: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hAxdOMGL_U0/WgIILEirXcI/AAAAAAAADwU/fq7OIebfB4oFXSv4GsCUAsYPFSY6UmmlwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2315.JPG> Here they are posing in front of it out near the Facebook campus. Guinness is closer to the bike. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FDAk8ny6n_U/WgINEYbBZaI/AAAAAAAADwk/hNQ0BpSzghg8_vger59hO5oCqzYItHLhACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_3522.JPG> On Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 10:08:30 AM UTC-7, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > Hi All, > > I read the list all the time but haven't said much as of late - but I mean > to!
