Wheelchair For Spike.



I am feeling very tired today after the emotional day yesterday, it was such a long day because the control centre at Utrecht, caught fire.

Up to now there are still no trains, they hope to be back in business at 02.00 Sunday morning.

After installing computers and software, what huge good luck Richie had sitting near the man whose partner was driving from Amsterdam to get him.

 And for getting a lift to the end of the street next to our street, all because the man noticed Richie helping a disabled woman get into the train.

Now I am trying to get a dog wheelchair for Spike, just as the professor at the clinic suggested, she thought it would be good to give him a good time while he is here.

He is in no pain, he even managed to run into the front room when he heard Marleen squeak a toy and he is now chewing and defending his dog chew.

He is such a sweet dog, and it is lovely to see him still enjoying himself, have contacted three dog wheelchair places, one where you can hire them which would suit us well.

Love the idea of Spike having a good time while he can, sure he would enjoy it very much indeed.

Be real nice for him to get out to the Amsterdam woods and the parks and to be able to move freely and play with Marleen and us.

I think that's a wonderful idea for Spike to have a little wheelchair. I've seen them on TV and they look like two wheels attached to a harness around doggies waist. That would be perfect for the little guy. Hope it goes well.
Peace,
Muff

We have a fiend that got one of the doggie wheelchairs for he dog. He was a Corgi and his long back became injured when he was young.

At first he was a little wobbly and adjustments to the device had to be figured out.

They went on walks and camping trips together for years.

Hope this works for Spike!

This is a great idea. It sounds like it would work for Spike. Once he adjusts he could go out running with Marlene again. You two are the greatest doggy parents.
