Recently my aunt’s cute doggie, Izzy, had to have surgery. My Mom had messaged with my Aunt and told us that Izzy would be going home from the animal hospital in a doggie wheelchair. This tickled Noah. His Nana suggested he come up with some tips to share with Izzy since he is a pro at being in a wheelchair. This was a great distraction and activity and he has some thoughful yet funny tips.
I have shown Noah pics of doggie wheelchairs or carts as some people call them but his tips are more for those who sit in a wheelchair so they’d work best for humans though some would still work for our disabled four legged friends.
All of these are straight from Noah minus my intro above so this might be his very first blog post!
1. Always wear your seatbelt. You might fall out and get hurt if you don’t.
2. Get a blanket for your lap. It must be a cool or colorful blanket. (It’s a fashion statement.)
3. Don’t go too fast.
4. Don’t purposely bump into things. You’ll get in trouble at school or with your Momma.
5. Find someone, like your Granddad, who will push you around crazy fast in a zig zag motion. Your Momma may tell you to behave but that makes it more fun!
6. Don’t run into people (or animals). They might get hurt!
7. Put a backpack on the back of your wheelchair so you can carry books, snacks, and juice.
8. When you are at home or someone’s house, get out of your wheelchair. Your butt will fall asleep if you stay in it too long.
9. Don’t go to sleep in your wheelchair.
10. Don’t wheel away too far from adults. You might get lost. And you can’t wheel to your Grandparent’s house – it’s too far and on big roads (the highway).
