My mom never even knew such a thing existed, but after a very creative google search she found one.  I guess the  ’towel under the belly’ method was getting a little old.  Ever since mom turned thirty, her back has gone to pot or so she says.  She needed a little something to help her help me.  The hiney harness does just that.  As you can see, there is a handle to hold me up and there are two loops for my back legs to go through.  I can be supported with a lot less effort.  Also, my mom can have a little bit more control too.  That’s nice on her end.  These aren’t just for handicapped dogs either.   My pal Frank down the street uses one too.   He’s an older guy that just gets tired when he tries to go up stairs.  He’s a lab.  Bad hips on his mother’s side of the family are to blame.

So give it a try and hopefully, you and your family will be helped also.  When you do ‘google’ this item, please make sure you put in the word ‘dog’ or ‘canine’.  Mom got some…well…interesting websites.  Let me know how you make it if someone out there is helped by this advice.  Mom says it’s worth the money.  She visits the chiropractor a lot less often now.

Well, take care of yourselves.  I’m off to take my midmorning nap.

Love, Winston

Sorry Arnie.  I got a comment from you a while back about the harness I talked about on here.  I didn’t realize that you were the inventor of it.   I thought you were kidding in your comment to me.  I have since changed the title of this blog to throw some business your way. It’s a nice product.
