I was familiar with the name Shih Tzu but had to look them up on line to remind myself of their appearance, and aren't they gorgeous!
I haven't got specific answers to your questions, but you might like to have a look at some of the conversations in https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/technology-and-equipment with regard to mobility scooters. It will give you a chance, too, to meet others in the community.
Are you in a sea-side borough and looking to move a short distance? Or are you inland?
If it helps, you have found a safe place here and are among friends, so please don't be shy of telling us about yourself or of asking any questions. The better we get to know each other, the easier we may find ways to be of use to you.
And keep in mind that I'm just the first to reply to you. Others will be along in due course
Warmest best wishes to you and to Bobby,
Richard
Having little Bobby riding along with you sounds like it could be so lovely! If you do get your mobility scooter and want to have it adapted then Remap may be able to help
I hope that joining this community will help you feel a bit less isolated - do let us know if there's anything we can help with.
The discussion group that Richard mentioned might be a good one to check, and we also have a dealing with chronic pain group that you might be interested in.
Please do let us know if you have any questions!
