Trouble is he can't reach his feet to put his boots on!

And don't ask him about his favorite jeans. X(

We have got a wheelchair with big wheels that Taff could move around by himself, but we're not going to give it to him until he promises not to try and do the B/F single-handed!

The small wheel version of the wheel chair negates this as he needs a minder to move him between places :D

Solid wheels so they can't let 'em down.
The blanket and the 'Crocks' are asking for abuse ain't they.
First photo looks like the back of an 'old git'..........
The abuse could go on for days..........With a bit of help.........
