Shouldn't that be "woof woof" music?

Abitfishy, here's a couple of photos of the underneath of the wagon. Seems a bit better made than the woodwork on the top. The only problem so far is that it is very hilly around here, and wagon is a bit hard to control going downhill.

Hilly around Bundanoon rode pushbikes down the hill which goes to the National Park break blocks spat the dummy and went flying into the bush hurtling over the handle bars sprawling into an ants nest.
Its a long walk back up that hill with a buckled wheel.

....... Schadenfreuder is a terrible affliction.

Wheelinround, we have actually moved from Bundanoon to the Blue Mountains but I think you could easily have the same sort of accident around here on a bike.

Otto has decided that the wagon is quite nice thankyou very much, but with one of the wheelchairs shown below a dog like himself could still run and chase balls [ though maybe not down the hills around here!].

Have had daily trips out with the wagon. Am finding big change with Otto - he hassles us all day to go out for a walk, which is what he used to be like before the arthritis set in. He is also walking a lot further than before we got the wagon and today ran for a good part of our trip around the block. I kept putting him into the wagon and he kept standing up wanting to walk by himself. Would never have imagined that getting him this wagon would have such a positive effect on him.

Sounds like he's excited about life again. Maybe we all need souped up wheels at a certain age?

JMB, I loved reading about Ottos exploits.
well done.
I wish you many more walks together.

Well done JMB!!!
Always love to hear what good people do for their pets!
I am sure he appreciates and loves you for what you did for him.
Good on ya!
Excellent wagon
Long live the cruisin' dude!

Fantastic , I think you deserve a medal for thinking of your mate .I'm sure he appreciates the effort you have gone to ,to make him comfortable .

Just finished reading this post and I agree with Woodlee,
well done.

Had to have my beloved old dog Otto put down today. I cant believe how much I am going to miss him. He ended up needing to be carried everywhere, but we made sure his quality of life meant we could justify not having him put down until today, when his health suddenly deteriorated. So long my friend.

Sorry to hear JMB

My sympathies JMB

I had to do the same 6 months ago, I know your pain.

Chin up mate, you gave him a great life.

Rob

It is a sad day for you today but as jaguarrh said

"Chin up mate, you gave him a great life."
