Oh well, he already pushes her pink stroller, walks her in her pink harness and leash, and most of the time she's got a pink bow in her hair I think a pink wheelchair is one step too far for him! Lol!

LOL!! I agree! A pink cart would be a fashion statement And omg imagine how cute it would be!
The first time we stopped at a rest area with the furkids....we had to park in the truck parking and my hubby said "it's bad enough that I have to walk a yorkie but do you have to put all the pink on them?" Now he just picks up the pick harnesses and leashes and goes on like it's nothing. He loves them as much as I do! And I'm sure he likes the fact that the cute girls stop him to tell him how cute the kids are lol.

It would be soooo cute! But the cart is already costing $300 BEFORE shipping and duty and all that stuff, and it would be another $200-$300 for the powdercoat I could always just buy a can of spray paint lol!

There you go, that's will be your fun art project If you don't want to spray paint it you can buy frabic you can keep switching desings. Just use velcro on the fabric. How neat will that be.

Lindsey, Layla looks so happy as others have said. You still have your sweet little girl, and the cart looks wonderful for her!!!! Can't wait to see her in one just her size.

We had some friends over last Sunday afternoon who have a handicapped dog. Their dog does not have a cart, but gets around just fine using it's front legs only. It is able to urinate on it's own, so it's spine must be affected lower down than Layla. They love their dog, too and have a little girl who is 14 months old who is learning a valuable lesson having and accepting a handicapped pet. I didn't ask the breed of their dog, just listened to them speaking so fondly of her. She is a valuable part of their family as Layla is of yours.

You and Scott are doing great with all of this!!!

Thank you Marilyn! I can't wait to get her out walking around the neighborhood in her cart and I know she will be the most popular little girl in town! I think that we have a great opportunity to show people how happy she is and educate on this disease so anyone will know that they don't have to be put to sleep even though some vets will encourage it.

Today I was printing out a big set of plans and when I went to the printer to grab them and put them in order, I took Layla with me and set her on the ground. A coworker came to talk to me and Layla dragged herself a few feet to see him. Another coworker came down the hall and Layla greeted her too. Before I knew it, she had zoomed off down the hall and around the corner! I could barely catch her! I think she realized she was on carpet and she could actually grip it with her front paws! She's going to be a little speed demon when she gets her wheels!

Lindsey...I'm so sorry I haven't been here for you. Layla looks so wonderful in the videos....she looks happy. You and Scott are doing everything right so don't ever doubt that. Layla will adjust and be just fine. Only hold her back if she may hurt herself...otherwise...let her experiment and learn her limits with her cart. You are such a great Momma!
