And mom gets the whole bed all to herself upstairs 😄
I’m glad most of my dogs have been small enough to carry when they get old. I guess if they hadn’t been, I’d just have to be a lot stronger so I could lift them. I mean, I’d obviously never leave them to sleep on their own after years of sleeping in my bed.
But why not just carry the dog up the stairs
My dog hates being carried and fights it. She’s only 50 lbs, but I would not want to try to carry her up a flight of stairs.
And carrying her down is way harder.
My son slept on a recliner sofa at the bottom of my bed for the last year our 17 year old boy was with us.
That is what families do, they stick together. I have a 12 year old boxer/staffie cross and sometimes i have to help him up and down from beds, stairs and such…he weighs 45 kg so he is not a small dog either.
The dogs eyes are open. I see this as like the ‘I bet he’s thinking of other women’ meme.
I bet he’s thinking of other removed
When my cat got old, she couldn’t jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.
Cat said no. If she couldn’t det up there by herself, she just didn’t want to go there anymore. Fierce independence.
My cat isn’t old or even lazy, but he’s not a jumper (he prefers to hook his claws in something and drag himself up. I was told it was a quirk his dad had.)
So I built him ramps! He has ramps to the tops of things!
…and as soon as I installed ramps he began jumping to the tops of things that had ramps.
I love him so much. Lmao
Cats are like our lovely nemesis I swear
I believe the C in CAT stands for “contrarianism”
I slept in the floor with my girl the last few weeks. Couldn’t do it all the time, and she didn’t always want to cuddle as she got closer to the end, but sometimes she would get scared and need company to sleep well. But she wouldn’t stay in the bed, so floor it is.
“Finally, an excuse to get away from her snoring!”
(But seriously, a very nice thing to do for the doggie.)
I’m going to ask the obvious question: Why not carry the dog upstairs?
Dad’s getting older too.
I’m old and carry my old dogs up the stairs as needed.
