- pvc cart plans - Visiting a local hardware store, I discovered [*] furniture grade PVC pipe. It is Schedule 40 (the heavy stuff), is UV-resistant and comes in 3/4 and 1-1/4 inch diameters. It also comes with fittings no sane plumber would use, but they make wonderful furniture. The pipe itself comes in 5-ft lengths, so I wouldn't need a truck to haul it. I already had plenty of wheelchair wheels (my son wears out chairs almost as fast as we can buy them) so I selected a 26-inch diameter set that had bearings and nuts intact. For a smaller dog, twenty-inch front bicycle wheels work very well.

- The Pennine Bernese Carters (England) - The Pennine Bernese Carters of England are a group of Bernese Mountain Dog owners who like to show off their pets while demonstrating the original draught work done by this breed in their native country of Switzerland.
During the Summer months the carters regularly attend steam rallies, fetes and parades where they provide ring appearances of Bernese Mountain Dogs pulling decorated carts. An informative commentary describes the origins of this activity and gives added information about this lovely breed of Swiss mountain dog.
Winter time brings a change in theme as the carters appear at Christmas markets or take place in Santa parades with their carts decorated in Christmas style, with presents and fairy lights, to bring joy and excitement to children of all ages. Sometimes Father Christmas can be seen leading his sleigh pulled by his faithful Bernese Mountain Dog through the streets of some of the market towns that we visit.
