OK SP family, I need suggestions on how to make my walker stand out! Gidget suggested vet tape but can't decide on colors. Anyone got some cool ideas?

Some 22" rims with spinners, a couple 12" subwoofers and a 1400 watt amp would be a start.... O0

was thinking racing stripes. been trying to find a basket that fits on so I can carry stuff in it.

When I'm outside I use a cane. It was my mother in law's so don't really want to change it.

You might want to stay away from vet wrap as it gets sticky and animal hair may stick to it. They do how ever make lots of colours of electrical tape now. Might be easier to wash after you get done with it. Also there are different colours of zip or wire ties or you may remember them as tail ties to attach stuff. Frostie

I personally like the looks of raccoon tails or you may want to stay with your "porcine" theme and put some SPAM stickers on it!!

I think you should hang an exhibitor sign on the front with all your information--sire, dam, birthdate (I think you can fudge this one if you want too, I would in my own case-ha).  Then, add some of the colored electrical tape with some blue ribbons hanging from it.  Whatever you decide we def. want to see this finished project!!

You probably could buy some new tires for it at Tractor Supply.  They sell replacement, "no flat" tires for little wagons/dollys and the such.  I bet you could get them on there.  Would make it much more suitable for use in the barn when you have "obstacles" to jump over or squishy stuff to run through.

yes, that's the biggest problem, the walker doesn't go in grass or gravel.
I like the idea of the raccon tails. Maybe I could add one of those horns to warn people I'l coming! Or maybe a set of horns from a longhorn?

FINS! Go retro with fins. Full fins, very Buick but can cause flying in big wind. Half fins, trendy, retro and if angled properly will keep the walker on the ground! :)

my grandmother had some sort of pouch sytem on hers so she could throw her glasses in it, her purse, and phone in separate pouches.

justme, i can't imagine you don't corner this market.  i would think the ladies would like mini quilts, kids could make christmas gifts for their parents of stuff on it.

you ever notice the number of people that have these things in walmarts etc, and they stand there and gossip just like they used to?  if they had their little pouch of memories and spots for photos of their children and stuff, maybe a pouch for medicine by the day, with a better system so they don't screw up.  man, why are we worried about china not making us clothes, we have justme.
