Boronia Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Meant to post these photos last week, Penny just loves her new trolley and sits up and watches everything as we all go for walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 That is just great, boronia . Nice and solid on four wheels too. Penny's Perfect Perambulator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Boronia that's just fabulous! A 4 wheel drive! Mac is completely envious of Penny! So must get cracking again to solve this problem now the heat is over... Thanks for posting the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Boronia, I love the PennyMobile. Looks like she does, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Here's another interesting solution for small dogs under 8 kgs - A pet sling. Unfortunately I think Mac is just a bit big and not sure how it would work for a Westie with ACL repairs and doesn't like sitting much... But he does love being tucked under my arm! Hope it helps others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Oh Boronia that is gold! Although I think it needs tassels or something equally attention seeking! Maybe one of those multi-coloured pinwheels that turn in the breeze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 WM, it may be an idea to print my close-up photos of Pen's Off-roader and go and chat to your nearest Men's Shed, there are some near you http://www.mensshed.org/Find-A-Shed/.aspx?search=Adelaide+&distance=25&filter=-1 ask them if they can adapt a buggy, if so, go to your nearest dump recycle shop and buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 B that's a great idea - thanks - will look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) OK - thanks again B. I've put your photos up on the Men's Shed site to see if anyone is interested in a project. Thanks tons again. Edited January 19, 2014 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Good luck with the pram/buggy westiemum, it looks a great idea. We have a very similar issue with Charlie who is finding it terribly difficult to walk very far any more and got him a second hand pram to take our walks in. Charlies problem is that he still thinks he's a spring chicken and doesn't realise he really cant go far any more and gets very upset if we go off without him so we tried out the pram idea. He doesn't like it one little bit and keeps trying to jump out and insists on walking. Though he only gets a couple of houses and then stops so we pop him back in and he stays for a little while and then wants to get out again and so on and so forth!!!! I've taken to waiting for someone else to be home to be the Charlie walker/carrier and for the other to walk the two younger ones. Though after reading all these responses on DOL I think I'll give the pram another go and try a little harder to make sure that he stays in there and enjoys it. The things we do for our wonderful oldies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Thanks CHA - yes I've found a couple of cheap second hand prams which look like they should work but I hesitate as they are open at the front and I don't want my old Mac falling out! I think Boronias arrangement us much better - particularly as it's lower to the ground and I've wondered if that too makes a difference? ETA : if you don't mind me asking what sort of pram and what brand did you buy? Three are so many! Edited January 19, 2014 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 :laugh: I'm loving the Pee Pee (Penny Perambulator)!! All you need to install in it now is remote control steering then you'll be all set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottsmum Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Oh Boronia that is gold! Although I think it needs tassels or something equally attention seeking! Maybe one of those multi-coloured pinwheels that turn in the breeze? Or one of those orange flags kids had on their bikes in the 80's? By the way - it's GREAT! Lucky Penny.

westiemum Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm sure others will laugh but I think it's just dawned on me how I can replicate Boronia's Pennymobile without needing to become a metal worker. But I have a question - how easy is it to remove the seat and hood part of a pram and just leave the storage part underneath? In my head, (Be gentle! I've never used a pram before so very unfamiliar with them), I should then end up with a low to the ground manouverable Macmobile but with push waist height handles! Shouldn't i? Like I said, be gentle and laugh quietly please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
