Today I needed to run some errands, searching for some wide, heavy duty, sew-in Velcro. Hubby also needed to go to Harbor Freight. Anticipating lower crowds, I took Jake. We did HF first. He did very well, responding to "left" and "right" as we turned through isles. He did stretch toward one man who held his hand out, but stopped when I minded him that he wasn't supposed to do that. We then went to JoAnnes craft/fabric store. He did exceptionally well there, passing carts and people with aplomb. It was the first time he's seen shopping carts, too. There was a little girl he was attracted to, but again, he desisted when reminded.
JoAnnes didn't have what we needed, so we proceeded to Hobby Lobby. He decided he was an old hand at this now, and bypassed excited children as well as people and carts. But they still didn't have what I needed....so on to Michael's. Again, he acted like a pro. The only exception there was on the way out, where they have metal framed containers to display baskets and such, Chris rattled one, and Jake jumped. He settled back down quickly though.
We came home after that...still with no Velcro! Jake behaved marvelously. The check-out girl at HF didn't even notice him until we had paid and started to leave. I'm extremely proud of him.
Tomorrow we leave at 7:00 am to get to Reilly's 9:00 am appointment for suture removal and re-check. We'll see how it all goes. Chris is still hot/cold packing that swollen left knee.
Now I must find the sew-in Velcro so I can adapt doggie backpacks to fit the mobility harness.
Meg, Reilly, Jake, et al
wow, three craft stores with out a basic like that? This is why I click and ship with Amazon Prime. Not affiliated, just live in the boonies. Here's a link to Amazon, they have the Sew In Velcro in 2" size, maybe this is what you need?
