Key Points:
- The author embraces being a dog-stroller person, pushing her slow-walking Shih Tzu, Darla, in a stroller despite occasional judgmental looks from others.
- Darla was adopted after appearing on a national TV pet-adoption segment, and her slow walking speed prompted the need for a stroller to enjoy outings more fully.
- The initial use of a repurposed baby stroller evolved into purchasing a specialized dog stroller, which offered practical benefits like carrying groceries and protecting Darla from harsh weather.
- The stroller has enhanced the author's ability to spend quality time with Darla, allowing for errands, park visits, and comfortable travel without leaving the dog bored or tired.
