Little Dog in a Big World

Posts Tagged ‘First week’

There really isn’t enough room in the backyard for a dog and her wheelchair unless we seriously move everything.  It seemed logical to take her out front when she could roam the front lawn and sidewalk.

Crash!  Um…that was Sierra crashing into the fence.  Rule #1, dog in wheelchair does not know how wide her butt is when going through the gate.

Once we got out front, Sierra seemed to be a bit shaky.  I think she was wondering why she was out front off leash for one thing.  LOL  Here she is taking her first look around…

Then she started sniffing the air and catching smells.  She was pretty tentative at first, moving a couple of steps and stopping.  She got a burst of energy and ran about 20 steps.

She walked from one patch of grass to the other.  Then I got her on the sidewalk.  She was so funny.  Someone was playing at the schoolyard.  She craned her neck to look around me.  I was blocking the view!

Since this was pretty intense, I only kept her out front about 5 minutes.  It’s too easy to over do things when everything looks like it’s going great.

That was her first time out front without a trip to the Vets since March.  I think she enjoyed it, though she was exhausted afterward.
