How much do you think a dog wheelchair costs?
$50, $100, $200? Try $400 and that's not including shipping and handling. Would you believe that this is actually a competitive price and that there are more than one or two companies out there that make these things.
Poor little Roxie may end up needing one. Several months ago (give or take 4) Becca showed me some videos on youtube of corgis (who look like Roxie's twin) running around in these crazy wheelchairs. Becca laughed and said it would be Roxie's luck to end up like that in her old age.
After two holidays in a row where Roxie broke her toenails on my mom's floor from dragging her paw, I was beginnig to wonder if this was to be her fate. And, I just came from the vet and it seems this really might be the case. We'll be getting x-rays soon to confirm.
Becca was worried what people might think when she takes Roxie to the dog park. I told her not to worry about it because quite honestly I don't think dragging a cart around will even phase that dog... so long as she still gets to run around and bark at people.

my poor smoopie. i only worry that ares is going to become obsessed with the chair and want to jump on her (it) even more. alas, there is still some time before i will have to worry about this. it will be at least a year before she has to get a chair. maybe ares will have mellowed out (pray to God) by that point
