[nagdu] Guide dogs and Rolling book bags

[Lyn Gwizdak]

I have what's called a "Milkcrate cart" that I got at Staples store. It is a 
collapsable crate and folds up to the size of an attache case or briefcase. 
It is plastic and the same size as the milk crates four gallens of milk come 
in.  It doesn't hold a whole lot but is will hold two grocery bags that 
aren't too jammed full.  For larger loads, I use one of those metal wire 
carts that has four wheels.  These come in three different sizes and some 
have two wheels and two stands (designed for pulling only).

It's a pain in the butt to deal with the cart and dog on the bus so I often 
use my cane and leave Landon home for shopping trips.  Or I might just do 
the long walk to the store and use Landon.

HTH

Lyn and Landon
