Can you tell if it's miserably roaming the vegetable patch? “she loved nothing better than roaming in the vegetable patch”

One day we were playing around the pond out in the park when a dog arrived with a "wheelchair" for its back legs. The kids, many wheelchair users themselves, thought this was magic and spent the entire afternoon making a fuss of it - the owner was really good about it and stayed until it was time to go home. They talked about it for years later. Many years ago I helped run a Saturday club for disabled kids in Barnes, London.
