[NAGDU] Using Rolling Suitcase with Guide Dog

[Al Sten-Clanton]

Hi, Joy!


What do you recommend for grocery carts?  I had a two-wheeler a long 
time ago, but it didn't carry a lot and it broke after just a few uses.  
My ideal would be something the size of a good store carriage, but I 
haven't yet found out where to get one and I figure I'd have to modify 
or extend the handle in some way in order to pull it behind me.  What do 
you think?


Thanks!


Al

I also love using two and four wheel carts with my dogs. I makes carrying groceries so much easier. Curb cuts improved the ability to cross streets but I'm now telling my age. I also used strollers behind me. IF you get the kind with the handle that flips forward your child can watch you as you walk.  I caution you to take care on controlling the speed of the cart or it can creep up on you. You should try to practice with you dog a little before you go so that they are not phreaked by this thing following them.
