For those who may be hesitant to get a cart

There are some people who may be hesitant to get a cart because for some reason they may feel a stigma is attached to dogs in carts. To be blunt to me that is a crazy notion, but I have heard of people that feel that way.

I have never really come across this when Llyr is out in his cart.  Some people may first say "poor dog", but when I tell them how well he does in his cart and how it has made such a big difference in his quality of life their eyes usually start to open.  Then they see him walking in his cart and how happy he is and we continue talking about carts and Degenerative Myelopathy.

I may be a bit biased, but I think Llyr is a very special Corgi. So many people come up to meet him when we are out and about.  Children are attracted to him especially disabled ones. Lately, complete strangers have recognized him from Facebook, The Daily Corgi, You Tube and his blog. In our little part of the world I think Llyr has helped some people that feel there is a stigma to cart usage.

Here is a link to Llyr's You Tube channel. I have videos of Llyr in his cart and also doing Physical Therapy. http://www.youtube.com/user/twocorgis9758/videos

Llyr also made the CBS national news in a story with wonderful pictures on what dogs and other animals can do in wheel chairs.

Halloween costumes still look great when your Corgi is in a cart! Llyr was all smiles!




So please give a cart a try. It really will make a world of difference in your Corgis quality of life!
