Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 O.K. Peggy, I will tell Eddie that and put him in the doghouse with Max if there is room. Max has been very naughty today and he ran out the door and it took nearly 2 hours to get him. That is how fast he is. He injured one or two pads on the front left paw and he scratched up his tummy reall good in the briars and whatnot. Toodles!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Before spending the money on a rollator, shop around a bit. They come in many different sizes with many features. Also, they're made for different weights. I'm no Barbie doll anymore. So, I had to go for a more sturdy one. Also, look online for a site that has " durable medical equipment " . In Massachusetts, we have a site called assistive technologies.com. You can post an ad for things you have but don't need any longer or things you need. Not sure if there's one down there. It might be worth a shot though.
