Toby's Stroller

Susan and I have been going to the track at one of the nearby schools practically every day to walk. Even when I go during the day, I take Tillie so she can get more exercise. Unfortunately, Toby gets really upset when we take Tillie someplace and leave him home. Since he hurt his back last year, he cannot walk far enough to take him along but I still felt bad about leaving him behind.

Susan did some research online and found this stroller that seemed like it would meet our needs. We have only had it less than a week, but it has already seen a lot of use.

The stroller is made by Pet Gear and has many nice features. The handle is high enough for me to push without bending over or looking down. The wheels are big which helps the stroller ride over uneven surfaces easily. In fact, now I can take Toby up to the mailbox on our dirt and gravel road. There are two cup holders on the handle bar along with a little tray for keys, etc. Underneath where Toby sits, there is a compartment for dog bowls, leashes, and anything else the dogs need. This stroller holds 60 lbs, which means Toby has room to move around. Even though you are not suppose to put two dogs in the stroller, both of ours would fit in an emergency.

It was windy and cold today, just before we started our walk. We might even get some snow tonight. Toby had a coat on and a blanket in the stroller. Tillie was fine, but she was moving around. While it can be a little boring to walk around the track, the surface is better for my back and knees and we do get to see some beautiful things like this full moon.
