The dog's urine and water from the rain and washing were causing the rust. I also replaced the old wheels with slightly bigger ones. <br />Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-49148212962812921722018-04-09T06:02:38.188-07:002018-04-09T06:02:38.188-07:00Update: Do not underestimate the smallest random a...Update: Do not underestimate the smallest random acts of kindness. Would-be suiciders have shared that they changed their minds about killing themselves when they chanced upon a stranger who merely smiled warmly at them. Never underestimate the smallest act of cruelty. For a would-be suicider who is running on empty, that can be the tipping point to suicide. Even if one is not targeting the cruelty to the would-be suicider, they may witness yet another random act of cruelty and decide they don't want to live in this world anymore. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-39477469062273818602017-12-17T09:36:31.925-08:002017-12-17T09:36:31.925-08:00Thank you Carl. :)Thank you Carl. :)Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-71268879521408205832017-12-17T07:05:25.430-08:002017-12-17T07:05:25.430-08:00Fun blog!

While opening up and sharing her own learning process via extracts from her journals, Mena Koo addresses and explores many beliefs and concepts currently arising in the domains of New Physics and New Age spirituality. It's a refreshing change to the "one-size-fits-all" dictatorial style that, in one way or another, plagues so much of what has been written on the subjects of tai chi and other Chinese somatic disciplines. We can hope to see further exploratory writings of hers in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-29389303265653994002017-06-26T08:52:20.788-07:002017-06-26T08:52:20.788-07:00You are so welcome, Dan.

I no longer need the welder. The wheels cost about USD1.50 each. So far, I've changed 2 wheels and had to rotate them like we do with our motorcars.<br />Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-46305088025197145392016-09-02T06:06:32.141-07:002016-09-02T06:06:32.141-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-34617551417272339122016-06-07T02:52:01.628-07:002016-06-07T02:52:01.628-07:00It has occurred to me the reason I had the over 1k...It has occurred to me the reason I had the over 1k viewers a month on my website was not because the public was interested in me or my books. They were probably there out of curiosity. No one had ever tried to sell books this way (that I am aware of). Imagine if self-published authors could actually succeed to sell their books this way. No need for percentages to be retained by Amazon to clear Income Tax(es), no need to share percentages with Amazon and the authors get their sales money immediately, instead of having to wait for Amazon to release the sales money due once it is over USD100.00.

I thought it was the day to experience what it would be like to secure the JT to a tree and walk the dogs home on a leash. The thought was quite terrifying if you know Jolly Boy. However, the wheel was temporarily put back where it belonged and I managed to get the JT home with the dogs inside. Once home, it was a simple matter of removing the nut that held the wheel in place so that I could tightened the screw that secures the wheel to the trolley. Next, I did the same for another wheel that was kind of loose but the other two remaining wheels were tightly in place so I reckon, I only need to check that the wheels are secured before taking the trolley out. Someone suggested I weld the wheel to the trolley but I'm not going to do that because I may need to replace the wheels at some point and I can just purchase the wheels from the hardware shop and do it myself.

Occurred to me recently that I had left out an important point about the use of the JT. How would I be able to pick up the dogs' poo if both my hands are tied up with dog leashes? With Jolly being the extremely nervous boy, the task would be impossible. Everyday that I observe Jolly in his trolley, I am reminded how this trolley was created for his needs. Jolly is a special needs dog. :)Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-51319155998803033242016-03-31T01:50:27.606-07:002016-03-31T01:50:27.606-07:00Update: My right knee is aching from walking Jolly... <br />Update: My right knee is aching from walking Jolly on the leash for about 2 months. Today is Day 7 using the Jolly Trolley and I think it would be good to have the option of brakes to slow the Trolley a bit on the downward slopes. All vehicles on wheels have brakes and low gears and I think the Jolly Trolley should have something to slow it down when necessary. Especially for people who are not so fit and strong. I didn't ask the Welder to put the brakes on as I wanted to keep the cost down.Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039702731462893639.post-34054977036955404262016-03-26T21:54:14.115-07:002016-03-26T21:54:14.115-07:00I agree the Jolly Trolley is a bit big.
Jolly Boy ... <br />I agree the Jolly Trolley is a bit big.<br />Jolly Boy is quite big so I wanted him and Bubu to be comfortably spaced inside.<br />At times I need to stop the Trolley and talk to people and the dogs need to be comfortable inside while waiting for me to move again.<br />Jolly is claustrophobic like me. He doesn't like small enclosures like kennels, crates, etc.<br />This is the trial version.<br />Others can customize the size to fit the sizes of their dogs and how much space they want to provide for their dogs.<br />However, small dogs (like Bubu) don't need the Trolley as they can be handled easily enough by people of average strength so these Trolleys are going to be big because they are for big dogs.<br />The idea is to help big dogs to get their exercise and to help the owners of big dogs.Mena Koohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743559995712545845noreply@blogger.com
