Tatum's Luxating Patella Surgery is Tomorrow (Wednesday)...PLEASE SAY PRAYERS!!!

[stedmansmommy]

Ok, my hubby is just downright adorable. And that's all there is to it. LOL. I sent him (again) to pick up more dog food (this time kibble, as I didn't realize that I was running so low) and anyway, I'm waiting for him to come home and I'm in the living room and I look out the window and here comes hubby....walking up the sidewalk pushing a doggie stroller up to the front door, LOL!!! Omg....that's something ya don't see everyday....MY hubby pushing a DOG STROLLER lol! Too cute! I wasn't expecting this AT ALL. But I have to admit, I was a little curious to know if there was a new doggie inside (Yeah RIGHT!!! My hubby isn't THAT crazy...lol!) - we have ENOUGH babies!

Ok - back to all seriousness. I hadn't even mentioned anything about a stroller to him...and there he was coming home with one! He said that he was in there buying her dog food and saw the stroller and thought that it would be perfect for Tator Bug since she had her LP surgery and all. Since we can't walk her TOO much (don't want to OVER do it on her little knees) - he figured that it would be great for when we take Steddy to the park (or wherever) to walk him...this way, Tat can go too but when she has done enough walking, we can put her in the stroller and push her around

Ok...so HOW SWEET was that!?!? I swear I have the BEST hubby ever!! I just love him! He said, "Yeah...I was just thinking of Tator and bought it on a whim....I do these things sometimes " - LOL!

Ok, BUT - the thing is....he paid $100 for the stroller (ON SALE) plus tax! And, ummm....it's red And I want pink, lol. SO...I have been looking around on eBay and found some REALLY nice ones (this one that he bought is just pretty simple and basic - not much to it at all - and it was so expensive!)....but what can I say? Hubby's don't know much about buying DOGGIE STROLLERS lol....it's the thought that counts though

So my question is this: I was looking around on eBay and found some really nice ones for half the price, and free shipping...and best of all, they're pink but, some of them have 3 wheels and some have 4...and I have no idea which is best? I just want one that pushes easy. I have never owned (or really even looked at much less) any doggie strollers so I don't know much about them at all. To those of you that use them, do you have one with 3 wheels or 4? If you were buying one, which would you prefer? 3 or 4 wheels?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help!

THAT'S IT! That is the exact one that I was looking at on eBay, only in pink! It was that one you bought with 4 wheels and then I was looking at an identical one almost but it has 3 wheels and I just didn't know which one to get.

Will you please, please, please let me know how you like it when you get it in?? And how it pushes??? Thanks so much girl!!!!

I bought a stroller for Gracie when she had her LP surgery. She so loved going outside when she could not walk, and when she started rehab, it was great to put her in when her walking time was up. What a thoughtful DH you have!

[altigger74]

I sure will! I got the four wheeled one cause,
1. the three wheeled on was more expensive
2. four wheels looks sturdier to me.

I will let you as soon as I get! I got to transport the pups and mommy around!

Awww yeah...see, that's exactly what we wanted to use it for with Tatum It will be great to push her around in outside for when her walking time has expired, lol! So glad to hear that Gracie loved hers...I hope Tate will love hers too!

Yes, my hubby is SUCH a sweetie pie!

Thank you soo much girl!! The 3 wheeled one I found is the same price as the 4 wheeled ones (about $50 dollars)...but it may only come in pink or something then....I'm not sure I just typed in "pink dog stroller" LOL. Me and pink...I tell ya The one he bought today has 4 wheels and it pushes really nice and smooth...but I was just wondering about the 3 wheeled ones as well, basically since I know absolutely nothing about these strollers, LOL.

Thanks again so much and I can't wait to hear how you like the new stroller!

Here are the 3 that I am trying to decide between The first two are the ones that have 3 wheels...they are slightly different from one another, but pretty much the same, for the most part.

We have the all-terrain petgear stroller..... 3 wheels.....LOVE it! I can tell you that I had one that was purchased via ebay and I NEVER used it. The wheels never cooperated, it was difficult to turn, and the push handle was very low. It was pretty much a DUD. If you are going to use it a lot.... I would definitely want one that pushes well.
We got ours from Petsmart....... a bit pricey, but we use the heck outta it!

[altigger74]

I am normally skeptical about ebay things too but I bought a playyard that zips up and such from this same company and it is wonderful!!!!!!

I don't have experience with dog strollers but I do have experience with human strollers and three wheels are better, IMO. Much smoother to navigate.

Sooo sweet of your hubby to get Tate a stroller!!! You have a keeper!

My daughter & I share the Pet Gear stroller w/4 wheels from Petsmart for our babies. Blue, cause she had Cole first. lol Does come in pink!! I really like it. Something to consider.....one thing I especially like about it is, little window @top so that you can see yr little munchkins while strolling. Would hate not to be able to see them. Window @bottom for their viewing....then a larger zip window screen as well.
I have also ordered from the ebay company & it was really fast shipping & great product (play yard) thanks to altigger74!
So.....you can't go wrong. Lots of ideas! Maybe to confuse you more!!
Have FUN deciding!!

[YorkichonBella]

I also meant to add.....it's on Sale!

Thanks so much girl! The 1st one that I posted a picture of is All Terrain....it also says in the auction, "100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand by our product 100%. If for any reason, you are not satisfied with the product, simply return the product and we will refund your money. Please see our policy for more details."

So THAT makes me feel at least a little better, lol. But of course, there is shipping involved in returning it If that's the one I even end up going with though...still not sure I doubt I will be using the stroller *alot*, because my babies absolutely LOVE to walk...I MAINLY want it for Tatum since she just had her surgery. Although I'm sure it will come in handy "here and there" also

Thank you! I know, he is a sweet A DEFINITE keeper for sure...I love him lots!

I have heard the same thing about the 3 wheeled strollers for babies. In fact I think Jon and Kate mentioned something about this on one of their episodes, LOL! The one he brought home today has 4 wheels and it pushes nice and smooth, and is easy to turn....but I have heard good things about the ones with 3 wheels also. Decisions, decisions!

Hmmm...I will wait until altigger74 gets her stoller in and see how she likes it before I do any ordering off eBay LOL....she can be my guinea pig! Hah!
