Availability

My parents and I all work our individual jobs at home. I’m a writer in a wheelchair with my dog Hairy, who is in every respect like the hero we all have read about and adore. As I work on my computer, Hairy sits on his bed in the corner, waiting for another doggie boarder to play with! Yet, daily, your dog and mine would get at least two walks/bike rides/3 wheeled scooter rides so they get exposure to the world outside. (Some soaking down may be required for heat purposes.) Lots of treats, loves, cuddles, and relaxation provided with a varied fenced-in backyard are always at hand.

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet

My doggy loves most other dogs that are varied in their personalities…so if your dog is like my Chewy (brain: ball-ball-ball-BALL-ball-ball…”) (may he rest in peace) he’ll probably quickly ignore him. He also doesn’t like dogs who are more muscular than him. That, my friends, is a no-no. Come to think of it, it’s a no-no for me as well. Arm wrestling to seal the deal might not be optional!

A typical day

Hairy goes everywhere with me, and I scooter around the St. George trails with such finesse I can get basically anywhere faster than your car can! But, if it’s hot outside, I wait until it’s 90 degrees or less before heading to a park/etc. or I keep the dog’s feet wet. Your dog may come too if he or she likes to run! (Or if he/she is small enough, he/she will sit on my lap). Biker jacket optional. Many paths and parks to explore, and books to listen to!

Pets

Paraplegic writer, ESA and your dog

Pet care experience

I’ve had many doggies in my family since I was five. Since I’m a paraplegic (going on five years now) and I have an ESA medium sized doodle, we would love a low-key playmate to share our adventures with—even if it’s just cuddling up on the couch, watching a movie. Being a paraplegic, I have access to my own door to the fenced in backyard from my bedroom. My parents are always home—which is where they also work—and would provide help with cuddles during our nightly movie fests. (Note: we prefer well trained, good natured, willing-to-be-low-key, but able to run at least two miles doggies. A love of Charlie Chaplin, like my dog, is optional) Daily, my Hairy and I go on walks—me on a three wheel scooter OR a three wheel bike, and never ever if it’s more than 100 degrees. If it’s 90-100 degrees, I thoroughly hose down my doggie and bring lots of water, and aim for a trail or park with lots of grass. If your dog is well mannered, I will let them loose and we can play with the ball.)
