Went to see little Larry the Labrador today with his first set of wheels. Due to the fact that his rear legs are currently rigid through the damage caused by Tetanus it would be impossible to support them with the rear stirrups so we tried him with his back legs down. He tried but could only go backwards due to the fact that the stiff rear legs pointing down and forward were acting as a brake. So we shifted the stirrups onto the side rails and gently supported his rear legs in them and Larry was able to go forward. Not much at first because he had never done this before but we showed him and he learned, showed him again and he learned a bit more, then Eureka away he went on his own. Here he is. and on video here Larry on wheels and finally a very tired little chap just had to lie down  Jim www.dogswheels.com |

Didn't the little chap just do so well. He did in fact do even better than the video shows and having just spoken with Christina she tells me that he slept like a log and for the first time had a dream in which he was yipping and yapping and tonight she took him for a walk with the lead attached and he was flying along behind her. I am so very pleased for him. He also incidentally had his first poo standing up. Jim www.dogswheels.com |

yeh look at that lil man, he is just such a happy little boy wagging his tail, you can see he really wants to go. Christina said he was knackered after I have some of her pictures I will put on here, but it wont beat the video. Jim thankyou so much for helping this little man The only way is up now Larry  Christina you said you couldnt wait to pick up his first poo from outside. Where is the picture?Jim

Christina, Larry and myself would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all of your kindness and help in trying to get Larry up and running as it were. Thank you everyone for your donations. This is what rescue is about. We havent stopped yet we are still trying to gain more information and specialist help for Larry again with other members help. |

Larry Lamborghini!!!! I like that. It was lovely to watch, he never had a clue to start with but as we showed him what to do he gradually got the idea and the more he moved the happier he was until his tail was just wagging constantly. Hopefully with the exercise he will now get through being mobile, the hydrotherapy and care he is getting one day he will not need wheels anymore. Jim www.dogswheels.com |
