Fourth day of voting for me and now there’s a test! Which I almost failed! Bad **mutt**! Do not be daunted, it’s the robot test (with pics).

Robo-mutt–I may have a new handle.

Who let that **Kat** in here? 😃 Thanks for the vote(s) **CKat**.

I’d like to know how well felines adapt to such a cart. Somewhere in these articles, there is a goat getting a cart. Put a motor in it–it’s a goat-cart! :rolleyes:

I’m tap-dancing as fast as I can!  
ETA: Thanks again, **Baker**.

I can’t believe I didn’t see this thread sooner! I’ve been following Gunnar’s Wheels on Facebook since they started. This is such an amazing thing the Parkers are doing. I’m glad so many of my fellow Dopers are voting.

At our local shelter, we’ve have a few dogs benefit from these types of mobility carts. It’s amazing to watch a dog who could not get around start running and playing like other dogs.

Welcome aboard, **Rhiannon**! Pull up a chair and vote, vote, vote.

Can always count on you, **Gus**. 🆒

TWO tests today; and I had to do the first one THREE TIMES because their pix are atrocious! :mad:

To anyone who thinks dogs aren’t intelligent, **burpette** showed me a vid this morning on the Gunnar Facebook page: little dog in a cart chasing two buddies across a lawn, only cart-dog didn’t go via grass, he _flew_ up the sidewalk, then made a sharp left to reach his pals. 🙂

**Pai325** , welcome to the party! And thanks for your vote!

**Gus** , once again, big thanx.

You folks checking in are doing me a big favor by bumping the thread, so I don’t have to be a pest. Although, the Mods have been/are being very supportive. Thanks, Mods!

I’ve just been informed (by my missus) that, since Thursday, Jason has sent out 20 carts!! 🆒🆒🆒 Be sure to take care of yourself, Jason. Catch some Zs. Fetch a ball. 🙂

I have voted every day since seeing the thread. Now I thought of a question. Are you able to see the voting totals, how the standings are? If Gunnar needs a boost, we could jump up and down in the thread and hustle for more votes.

My wife looked into this back before I created the thread and, no :(, the voting stats are confidential.

There’s been some damn fine hustle in this thread already, fellow SDers. 850 views as of this posting? I knew you could do it.

Oooo, we have a Mod vote 🆒. Thanks **ITD**! And **Baker** , too, again!

Is THAT what that was? Thanks again, **Sailboat**.

You, too, **Buttercup**. (No **burpette** , I’m _not_ getting fresh–that’s the name. Well, it is!)

Closing in on 1,000 views! Shucks, folks, I’m speechless (fat chance of that).
