Blu on Wheels

Happy Monday everybody!!!
Sorry that I didn't post anything yesterday, but I was too tired and sore from my trip to Eddie's Wheels to order my cart. I was so excited about being there that I wore myself out and yesterday I just slept the day away. Of course I sleep most days aways anyways, but yesterday I was also sore. I better today.
I had a really nice visit to Eddie's Wheels For Pets on Saturday. It was a long ride, but I slept most of the way. They even had snow there which was nice to see. I even got to meet a border collie and a great big collie that were getting their wheels. I got to watch them getting used to their new carts. I was so excited and couldn't wait until it was my turn. Leslie the owner was really nice to me and my mom and Chris. I stood really still while she took measurements of me. That made my mom really happy. Chris took some pictures. Unfortunately, she didn't have a cart for me in stock, so I have to wait 2 weeks to have my very one made. I wanted it motorized, but my mom said no. HEHE I tried.

Here are some pictures of me getting measured for my cart.

That is my mom on the right holding my head while they took my measurements. I had to be really still so they could make my cart.

Sorry for the skin shot, but that is where I was shaved to have my surgery. I guess it takes a while for the fur to grow back. Mom is gonna get me a doggie coat for when we go for walks outside, and boots.

After I got measured, my mom talk to Leslie for a bit about the disc disease I got and how the cart will even help with trying to walk again. She had a doxie named Daisy that was paralyzed also from the disc disease, and the cart helped her out a lot. She also recommended a supplement for all us doxies to take and to also try acupuncture. So, we ordered the cart and we have to come back in 2 weeks to get it. Whoo Hoo, I can't wait!!!! Just in case you want to visit their website, here it is: http://eddieswheels.com/

Here are some other pictures from Eddie's Wheels. I am sure we will have more when we go get my cart. Maybe even a video!!!!

This is the big room where they make the carts.

So many carts and none that fit me.. Oh well, I get mine custom made just for me. By the way on top of the cart in front is a pair of skiis for a cart to use in the snow. Mom said no to that also, besides the cart being motorized. :-)

I tired, let's go home. Where's my crate, I need a nap.

Well, my friends that is it for today! I hope you enjoyed my story of my trip to get me a cart on wheels. I also want to thank you for joining my blog and also for all the nice comments you sent me. They meant a lot to me. With all your support I know I will get better!

Have a great week everybody!!!!

Hi, My name is Blu and I thought I would try doing some blogging while healing from a back injury. I am new at this so I hope I do it right. I am a 6 year old dachshund and I live with 3 other doxie's and 2 cats and of course my human Mom and Dad and their son Chris. I like to eat and sleep, and until I got hurt chase the cats. But, a couple of weeks ago I hurt my back, and had to have surgery. For now, I can't walk but someday I hope to. I have to take it easy for a while and my mom says she is going to get me a cart with wheels to help me walk and get around the house and also go outside again. I can chase the cats again also. HEHE.. Just kidding. That is why I am calling my blog "Blu on Wheels" .

In time, with physical therapy I hope to run again. But, while I am on this journey to walking and running on my own I hope to post my progress and have pictures also. Please join me on my journey to walking again.

Here is a couple pictures of me and my family.
