Even if Cait didn’t need a cane for support, she would keep one at hand because she finds it so versatile.

Out and about, she regularly uses her cane to unhook clothing hangars from the upper racks at stores and to edge cans to the front of high shelves while grocery shopping.

In the garden, Cait’s cane serves as a dibber to plant seeds and tamp soil, and to bring high branches closer for pruning or to hang bird feeders.

At her potting bench, Cait’s cane pulls pots and trays of seedlings closer without her having to bend and it’s useful for spacing young plants because Cait knows the handle measures about 6-inches wide.

Cait taught her dog, Hailley Wigglesworth - aka Perfect Girl, the Licorice Princess and Gassy Girl - to jump the cane and uses it as a silent signal for Hailley to return to her at the local dog park. When Hailley sees Cait holding the cane horizontally, she runs back to Cait to make the jump.

And last but not least, Cait’s cane makes a great impromptu Limbo Bar for those festive backyard get togethers.
