Re: New Off road wheel chair!

Hello LAura, I could build a cart for your Yorkie, I could build it with some adjustment so it could change as he/she does. I am not sure how effective the shocks would be with such a wee dog but the wheels and harness would provide plenty of vibration dampening. The harness itself would most likely...

Re: New Off road wheel chair!

Hey everyone! All of the footage is real time, real speed, real trees and really muddy terrain. He totally digs his new ride. To answer the above questions, B-boy is not fixed, he is an intact male. The harness is neoprene and cut to the dogs thigh measurements, it is then seam sealed rather than st...

Re: Me and B-boy wanted to say hello

I can say I need practice, but this AM I heard a peep out of B-boy and got up to take him outside, his wrap was wet but I tried to express any remaining urine out. It was fairly easy and he had no reaction to me doing so. Thank you for the suggestion and we will keep on him to ensure he is "emp...

Re: Me and B-boy wanted to say hello
