Of course knowing that I'm gonna get teased?

I just beat them to the punch...I laugh and tell them that I'm turning into that "crazy ol' dog lady" and bought my "babies" a doggie stroller! Who cares, they are my babies and the stroller is one of the best things I've every bought!

Well I ended up buying one anyway. I love it. And the best part is.. my dogs love it. And they both fit in it comfortably. It's an easy way to take my dogs along with me when my daughter and I go for walks, and such. I'm glad I decided to get one. I do get laughs my way, from my friends, but like I said they don't have dogs or dont have lil dogs, and have no idea what it is like to have to leave em behind or have to hold em the whole time.

GOOD FOR YOU, we got one for Baby Blessing and she loves it. I always unzip the back a bit and put her leash on her before taking her out, extra precaution when we are out. People that don't have a pet are missing out so much on wonderful times. Which stroller did you get? I am looking to get a car seat but don't know which to get, do you have one?

I think it's Ultra Light by Pet Gear or something like that. It's a cute blue color with a paw print on the side of it. The only thing it is missing is the cup holder. But I can buy an attachment if I really wanted to.
I don't have a car seat for them yet. I need to start looking though.

I told my girlfriend today that I wanted to get a dog stroller but people will make fun of me. She said say what I say I am 53 years old and I can do what I want. I don't care what people think! So I ordered the Happy Trails stroller from Justpetstrollers. Hopefully I will get it soon!

GOOD FOR YOU PATTI your Cali is going to love the stroller and you will also. I totally agree with your friend, I am nearing seventy and I share the same thoughts as she does. Baby Blessing loves hers and it sure frees up ones arms, I am looking forward to my walks here in the evenings with her in her stroller, she gets so excited to be in it

you and Calif enjoy that new stroller and if you get a chance please post us a picure of her in it. She is so adoreable. Patti

Also, my Pom doesn't like to be left at home on our walks and I end up carrying her 12 lbs back from our walks. This way I can walk them in the stroller to the park in our subdivision and let them play and stroller them back. I will also get some exercise in!

luvamber · 08-16-2006, 05:19 AM

I live in Madison and you can find them at petsmart or order them off the internet at walmart or target or kmart or ebay has them cheap.

Hope this helps

Please do NOT but the one from ABC Distributing. I purchased that one & the bar one uses to push is not made for an adult. There is no way to adjust it higher & when I contacted ABC they refused to refund my payment. I even wrote them but did not get a reply. I am only 5'5" & I have to bend down just to reach the bar. My nephew (who's 8) fits it perfect!

Never plant your feet if you can't trust the foundation!

Patti · 08-17-2006, 01:28 PM

I took Cali and Maya for a walk to the pond today and pushed the stroller there and put them both in for the ride back! They both loved it. It was easy to push and walk them both as well. The Happy Trails is so well made I love it

I have the same one, (only a week now) My petSmart did not have the pink one so I ordered it from PetSnap.com (free shipping) While I was browsing stroller, I accidently ran into the beds there! So glad I have no husband now, I ordered them their "Murphy Bed" I recently broke my arm, so the excuse for the stroller is Sissy (4mths) gets tired during our walk and can't make it back home, while Chloe can walk forever (1 yr old) We are going to our first Yorkie get together this Sunday and I didn't think I could manage both without it and Sissy doesn't listen yet. Now as for the Murphy bed, I haven't come up with an excuse for that yet!

I always wanted a murphy bed in my family room, I think I bought it so our handyman can copy it and build a full size one for me

newmommy · 08-18-2006, 08:56 PM

abc distributing is ridiculous for shipping too!!!

chachi · 08-19-2006, 03:16 AM

I am getting the blue Happy Trails from here http://justpetstrollers.com/
I was gonna get one from Ebay but Patti said she got this one with no Shiping fees and thats all it tok for me to order here

Patti · 08-19-2006, 02:34 PM

Just came back from a stroll with the girls! Problem is now they want to go in the stroller and NOT walk at all!!!!! I love it! Neighbors thought it was a good idea, their kids took turns pushing them down to the pond! Well at least I am getting my exercise!!

Shadow · 08-19-2006, 03:44 PM

I was considering the one one abc ,but I notice the heoght of the handle was low. I knew better, I didn't want to bend over to push it.
