[NAGDU] OT: Peggy and Hawaii Paratransit

Dani, go to your local pet store and buy a walking harness, or similar. Let
her walk with you as she wil still keep you straight. Now you may have to
gently remind her to stay on task, but oh well, you have your cane to clear
the path ahead. For very short walks, she should be just fine. Make sure she
is light as any weight on her will hurt her joints.Walk her speed.

Warmly,
Becky

I would do that--put her harness back on. But Eye Of The Pacific took it
back when she retired. Peg got reclassified as an emotional support animal
so she could stay in housing with me; I opted to keep her instead of giving
her up to someone else during her retirement. I want to be the one who takes
care of her and is with her through whatever is left for us.

Charlene, do you still have Irish? If so, did you get ownership transferred
to you when you moved?

Curious,
Dani
