Shadow still isn’t better, but when it’s nice we like to load him up in the wagon, we tried to find a Harley, but they quit making them, and take him for a stroll just so he can get a change of scenery. Of course with him I don’t have to worry about cleaning up his poop, but if the little guy could walk it wouldn’t worry me in the least. The vet did say since he hadn’t walked since his last treatment that he probably never would.

He acts like he has to have someone with him all the time and when I step out he whimpers and barks and to tell ya the truth my nerves are getting bad. I don’t mind turning and cleaning him up, but the barking needs to stop. He’s too heavy to pick up and carry around every where I go and it just breaks our heart to see him this way. There’s no question of putting him to sleep because he’s fine other than not being able to move, that’s something he’ll have to decide on his own.

Both he and Sadie have always howled and barked for about 5 minutes when Bill and I go away, but according to the neighbor they then stop unless some kid goes by on a skateboard. Since one of us have almost always been with him since he’s been incapacitated I don’t know if he barks the whole time we’re gone now or not and I haven’t asked the neighbor. It bothers me to leave him, but Sunday we took a motorcycle ride.

I thought it was going to be warmer than it was so I didn’t dress appropriate, I was freezing till we got to the Appalachian Harley Davidson dumb me. I did make sure I put Bill’s jean jacket on under my jacket before we left though. Bill wanted to buy me a sweatshirt, but the prices they put on their apparel is just to rich for my blood. They had tons of bikes and the 2 we liked are below because the colors are unique and you don’t see a lot around.

Bill dreams of getting a newer Harley with less miles, ours has 58 thousand, but it runs great and he has everything on it you can possibly put. He talked to some guy about stripping all his stuff off if he trades in and the guy said that was fine of course it wouldn’t be as big of a trade in, but all the accessories he has on ours cost a fortune. The only problem right now is the uncertainty of the economy.

It usually takes Bill a while to talk himself into anything because he likes to weigh all the pros and cons. I’m hoping for a trike myself because we aren’t getting any younger and it would just be easier with balancing although he’s a lot stronger than he looks. With the weight of the Harley and then our weight that’s 1,000 lbs, no way could I do it, wouldn’t even want to try. I need to go see what Shadow is whimpering about and get a few things done.
