Wheelchair Advice

He is an Old English Sheepdog who has severe arthritis in his back, I have to help him to stand up, and carry him up and down stairs, he has trouble walking as he has no muscle mass on his back legs, he is currently on meds for pain. He loves to walk, but he falls all the time, so I would like to help him enjoy life more by making him more mobile.

Get a different type of car that will get a chair in easily

I really like him too. He has such a great personality and I can see past the wheelchair I just dont want him to think I like him because of it. I'm willing to do whatever for him and I just need some outside advice on how to really handle this situation cause I like him and dont want to mess it up or anything. so anything anything anything will help.
We've gone out before and I asked him out for valentines day so we've established the friendship but I want it to be more.

I am utmost proud of you. You are my hero. I too used to be in a wheel chair due to a very bad car accident and was told I wouldn't ever walk. I proved them wrong but I was one of the lucky ones.

However, deep down inside handicap people feel life hasn't given them a fair shake. And to find a mate that will look past imperfections and hardware has to be a Godsend. I tip my cyber hat off to you. You will have to bridge other issues as they arise but please understand the bigger picture OK.

There is social activities he can still participate in with you. Dances, clubs, restaurants, etc, etc. He is only as limited as the vehicle that gets him there. And the rest is his ability to rise above and (get his) as it were.

any exercise hints as well.

I have a buddy in a wheelchair, and he is built like a brick *** house. Works out 4 times a week at the gym, and has little trouble using free weights and many machines. The wheelchair alone gives a great workout if you have upper body mobility.

Same way you do any child. The only difference is that they cannot initiate going themselves, but they can tell you. Start putting them on the toilet on a regular schedule that seems to match when they usually go. Let them sit until they produce. Reward them.
