My Baby FINALLY Has His Wheelchair!!!!!!! I promised myself we'd have it done by the end of summer and well it was... we finished it last night and school started today lol. It is SO adorable. I'll post pictures soon. Bailey had his first real walk in it last night. We went to the park and to visit his other Shih Tzu friends: our neighbor's dogs: Chipper and Minnie. It was sooo cute. He LOVES going down hills!!! He flys down them lol. I am too excited for words lol. More later with pictures.

We actually built it! $30.OO for all the parts plus the $20.00 for the 'Suzy Q.' fabric as a personalized fit lol. Waaaaay better than the $150.00 - $400.00 we would of had to pay to buy one. I am soo happy lol. I am hoping to take him to the park tonight with Chipper and Minnie so maybe I can get some pics!

Here's some photos!!

The first two are of the finished cart.

The third one is Bailey lounging out after his first walk.

The fourth one is Bailey and Sadie (our family cat)

The fifth one is Bailey being stubborn and deciding he doesn't want to get in the cart again. That was like version #4 lol we made some modifications obviously to get the one he has now. Enjoy!

May we have a sixth picture? I can't figure out how it goes around him and how it fastens?

lol of course.. I had meant to take the camera with me to the park yesterday but completely forgot. I'm babysitting my brother and sister tonight so maybe if I take them for a walk I can get some. I would just get some of him inside but he's scared of cameras and I don't want to risk him getting hurt in the wheelchair so I'll try and take some outside when he's not paying attention lol.

Perfect. Thank you.
In looking again at pic one, his back legs just drop into those rectangle spaces? He isn't really fastened in there or at the front. Front bar just rests on his shoulders? Or fastens to his collar?

Oh, Poor Bailey is camera shy!!!!


That was put together pretty good, and Yes, I too would like to see how he is harressed up and set to go ( When he doesn't know it that is!!!!)

I am so happy for him and I hope he enjoys his new found freedom.

Keep us up-dated ;)

GRRR lol now the camera dies on me!!! LOL... yes his back legs just slip into the harness and there is a ring on the front that attaches to his collar. He can then be on leash or off leash and not have a problem. He was chasing my brother and sister on their bikes lol and decided he would just head off to the park on his own because we we were being too slow lol. More later lol. Oh and my mom said she's make one for someone if they need it.

It's amazing what love can do. That's a wonderful chair for a darling little guy. Your family is great to do this for him.

Hope he has many more years with you and enjoys his new "legs".
