Thanks to Cindi and Jack's idea of getting Shelby a super amazing wagon, and getting to see her use it last Saturday I decided that my Coriecould use one too! I had been looking at strollers before but didn't really like any of them that much. And transportability is a must! While the trunk of my mustang is nothing to sneeze at, it's not an SUV! So after I saw Shelby in the wagon it occurred to me that I had a really great wagon at home that folds up! It's heavy duty fabric and metal frame with a load capacity of 100lbs, it's perfect! So the trick was how to convince her to want to be in it and not freak out when it moves! Well today we tried it out in the kitchen. I put her in it and to my surprise, she laid down right away. I gave her her favorite treats for being so brave, and after she spent a little time in it I had my husband give her treats as I slowly rolled it back and fourth from one end of the kitchen to the other. She did great and didn't seem to care one way or the other about the whole event as long as the treats kept coming! I'm so glad to be able to have this as a tool to use! This will enable us to go on more walks and longer walks! Yay! Thanks Cindi, Jack and Princess Shelby:)
Now if I could ever figure out how to work photobucket I will post pictures:)
I love it!! It was a pleasure to meet Corie (and you guys) Saturday. She was an absolutely wonderful girl. Can't wait to see photos of Corie in her "new" wagon!!!
PS: If you'd like a cd of photos from Saturday, feel free to PM me your address and we'll get it in the mail to you!
Ohhhh YES! I can just see her in her new chariot, this is wonderful.
It was so great meeting you, what a joy to get to know your beautiful Cori.

Okay......maybe the rest of your blog is over here! And it sonds like things are going great!! YAAAAAA!
Your blog stopped at....."and the hard part was still to come"...and that was it! Talk about a cliff hanger! Now, you're talking to somebody who doesn't even know how to blog, so it could have been something whacky on m tablet not lettng me see the whole thing.
Anyway, cannot wait to see the pics! Yeah, that wagon for Shelby is quite befitting for a Queen! Quite the Goodwill Ambassador for tripawds everywhere! Nice job Mom!
Hugs to all!

Soooo coool!
Good for her and you! It's important that the color of her wagon brings out the slight brown hi-lights in her coat . Well done Mom!
We ended up installing a non slip pad that had a bit of cushion too.
It was such a pleasure meeting the 3 of you last Saturday, hope to see you again.

That's great. I got a stroller for Cora and she hates it. Corie looks happy in their. It is definitely a royal carriage!
