Hi Everyone

I haven't posted in a while. My dogs name is Blue he had his right rear leg amputated in Janaury. He is doing good but has slowed down a bit.But like Jerry said ain't we all.Anyway I made this harness for him and thought I would share it with everyone.I think it works best for rear leg amputation, you stick his good leg in the hole and wrap it under the belly and pull him up with the handles. Once he is up and steady I just drop it and he walks out of it. I put fleese around the middle for cushion. It's a rough draft but you get the picture. I really like it and so does Blue,Aw Shucks its like he almost holds his leg up for me to put it on him. well I hope it will help some of you.

I hope everyone is ok. Have a great day……Lorrie
