Update on ChinChin...

Two wheelchair companies have decided that ChinChin is not a candidate for their product despite the fact he is now swimming with both front feet full on each day... So?... Determination is the mother of invention, I always say!

Needing to be very lightweight but able to hold up the bulk of his body until his front legs can eventually strengthen up, we came up with this improvisation of a quad wheelie for him until we can find a company who can make one... 


ChinChin wasn't that excited about it initially... As you can tell from the expression on his face!  But it didn't take him very long to put weight on both front feet... Baby steps, baby steps, ya know?


There was a time when the only position ChinChin knew was upright... Now he moves around a LOT and readily rolls over for a belly rub... Who said he was going to be a live pillow the rest of his life?  Not us, for we believe he will eventually be walking on those two front legs yet!
