Walker With Wheel

My aunt is 71, home bound and uses a walker. She does not want a Great Dane in the house. She thinks it will knock her down or stand in her way and not move. Is this a valid concern?

She is a large woman and it would be a puppy we are getting. There is three other adults in the house that will actually be responsible for the puppy.

No, Great Danes, especially the older ones are very intuned to the needs of others. They are in fact as gentle and caring as they seem, despite their size. They are also easily trained to stay in certain areas of the home which are safe for playing, and should be taught to respect your aunt and give her space. If the great dane is very young, it might be best to slowly train the dane to be gentle with your aunt. My family has 2 great danes now and we have had 2 that passed away in the past few years. They have always been very careful indoors with baby kittens, our tiny chihuahua, our older relatives, as well as with other animals who were injured at the time. Great danes do seem to have a special intuition about taking care of others. But, please don't restrict your dane to the outdoors as the heat, rain, and storms are especially bad this year. And as you may know, Great Danes can be easily frightened by bad weather. Also, designating a space for your dane will make the dane feel safe and secure in your home when you have a new person coming to stay with you. Just make sure that you or someone else supervises when your dane and aunt are together.

www.youtube.com Okay, you know how I was able to zoom through one world per day? Not anymore. This is HALF of the sky world and I'm probably ...

I've been searching the net for a pony wheel- the type of pony walker that you see at carnivals and pony rides. This type of walker is usually not motorized and I was thinking it would be a little cheaper than a motorized one...and I don't need a motor, anyway. I saw motorized ones by Centaur (I think) but they were several $K.

I wish I knew, all I can tell you to do is google it.

*Where can I get it Fix?*

I aint going buy a new one. They are like $$ 250 to $$ 400.
I just got this Heavy Sturdy Walker a month ago.
It looks like I am Missing a Part of the Bolt that Holds the Walker Wheel On.
Shoot!!!
Looks as though I will be stuck here at home for a long while.

Any Ideas Where I can get my Walker Fixed?? : - ((

call the place where u got it. do you have a wheelchair or crutches that will help until then?

The front wheel fell off my roller/walker and I fell when I was fixing it. My hand hand got stuck as the walker folded on it. A trip to the ER later, my finger is broke and I got 13 stitches. Should I ask for my medical bills to be paid for? Should I receive and other compensation for my scar that I will have the rest of my life?

Accidents happen, why perpetuate frivolous lawsuits and raise insurance rates for the rest of us, when you are the one that fell over, fixing something that you are not qualified to fix. Besides, who is really paying your medical bills?
