And speaking of dogs...

I look longingly at electric scooters but none of them are rated for my weight. Maybe with this plus a husky or three I could get somewhere.

And speaking of dogs...

[dbubley.livejournal.com]

Finding a scooter is easier than finding transportation for a scooter. My "chair" is actually a scooter. The style gives me a smaller footprint, so I can ride city buses, but my chair and I weigh a slight bit over 650#, which makes me too heavy for the shuttle provided here.

I've got a bunch of links if you'd like me to share. Kaiser ended up getting me this chair, however. My chair is a Merit's Big Boy.

Still, I do love the idea of a dog-powered scooter. I don't think it would get me where I want to go, though, because my dog seems to have a mind of her own.

Yeah, I hear you - what I lust after is the kind of scooter you stand up on, but the kind you sit in is probably more appropriate for me, or will be soon.

I'm glad Kaiser came through for you.

Hmm...there seems to be an entrepreneurial opportunity here - for dog trainers who specialize in teaching dogs to pull wheeled vehicles.
