Little Dog in a Big World

I noticed yesterday that Sierra had a little trouble moving her back leg.  I decided the sling was interfering with the harness.  Today I decided to try to get her into the chair without it.

It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be.  I gave her a couple of pieces of dog food, which she sat for.  Once she was in the sitting position, I was able to lift her to the chair and then hook her up.  This was easier than doing it with the sling.

I had to retrain myself to manipulate her with the back of the cart.  She needs to be lifted over the sliding door jamb, manoeuvered out the gate, and so forth.  I wasn’t sure I would be able to lift her.  But I did.  She seemed to be walking better, so this looks like it will work out.
