Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Agreed. You can't expect your next dog to be the same as your old lab, but you'll love him/her, and I promise, won't regret it.Originally Posted by rondog
Outstanding, fantastic. I know you love your dog and looking at those expressions, it's mutual!!
You sir, are a good man! That is one happy dog!

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
My dad was a veterinarian and he used to see cases like this frequently. We never paid too much attention to them but when my moms Daschund(sp) injured her back from tumbling down the outside stairs and basically became a paraplegic my dad did not have the heart to put her down. He thought about it and between us we came up with a solution. I bent up some aluminum rod into a contraption that looked almost like a harness racing sulky. We put a couple of wheels from the hardware on it and I sewed up a nylon sling that the dog was suspended from but left her front legs free. Looked funny as hell but she got used to it and lived a long life. We built a ramp for the stairs and the dog never knew the difference.
We ended up making a couple more for clients dogs.
We do go to the limits for our family members.
Good for you Fentonite!

That's a really cool story, Bert. We've looked into that sort of thing (shes goes to OrthoPets, and they make prosthetics, wagons, dolphin tails, you name it), but her front legs are too shot to take the extra load. As long as she's happy and bright-eyed, we'll do whatever we can for her. I look at it this way: I have no doubt that she'd give her life to protect my wife (very protective), so how could I not do what I can for her? It sucks watching her deteriorate though.
You might want to put a full coverage rear fender on your bike, not a good place for your buddy during the wetter days.
Good point! She'd really get showered if I went through water. I'll figure something out - thanks.
My dogs are absolutely retarded. I LOVE THEM.
Thats cool as hell! My girl is getting up there in age too, I'll keep that in mind. One of the coolest things I saw, I was at a dog park in the parking lot. A car pulled up in the handicap parking space, an elderly man got out grabbed his walker, I asked if I could help him he said yes. Can you grab my dogs wheel chair out of the back seat. ??? Ok. I opened the back door and here is this little cart with wheels and his little Weiner dog with no back legs!! It looked like this.
My heart grew 100 times in size for this old man and this cute little dog. Not the one in the pic but like that. Almost made me cry!
That's just about what we did for my moms weiner dog, only 30 odd years ago.Thats cool as hell! My girl is getting up there in age too, I'll keep that in mind.
