Wheelchair Chair Tires Am I wrong to ask people to slow down for me when I go out with friends?
I'm wheel chair bound and I don't own an electric wheel chair just because I can't afford one so I have one that I have to push myself by turning the wheels. I don't like people pushing me about as they can get too rough - I have been thrown out of my wheelchair by someone doing that.
When I go out with friends I do get a little tired after around 6 hours out and I can't keep up with them as they all walk quiet quick. Is it wrong for me to ask them to slow down for me when we go out? Every time I asked they moan about it expect my boyfriend, he's happy to slow down for me.
F**k them tell them to slow down if i had a friend in a wheel chair i would be happy to slow down, i ave a friend that needs a walking stick cause he lost the use of his leg, he can walk on it a bit but he's very slow i just no to keep back with him i counldn't let myself leave him behind.

Border collie Service dog?
I'm wondering would a border collie (lets say a male 20in tall 50lbs) be able to be a service dog for a person in a wheelchair that would need the dog to pull the chair occasionally for short distance on flat ground like when their arms get really tired or something i see labs and golden retrievers do that all the time but would a male border collie be able to do that physically wise??? also what about a minor balance support dog (like for a person with hypoglycemia that when there blood sugar get low they get really tired and there balance is not the best but they don't need to lean on them)
Border collies are very smart, but I don't know if they're strong enough to pull a grown person in a wheelchair. The balance help would be very possible.
