So,the dog and I have reached a point where it became necessay to buy a DOGGIE STEP for him. He is a Maltese- Yorkshire Terror ( not a typo!) mix. He used to have no trouble jumping onto my bed, Then I started lifting him onto the bed. Now we are both too old.
Amazon to the rescue!
I just hope the cats won't take it as their new piece of furniture!
I long ago built stairs for the bed for the little/older dogs to go with up & down when I raised the bed to accommodate my first knee replacement
It was hard to make them stop leaping off, as they used to do.
I did it by throwing a couple of taped-together pool noodles ( those foam things) and placing them at the edge as a "fence". (the rest of the bed is in a corner) so they Had to use the stairs to get down. Took a couple of weeks but the noodle thingy was easy to toss out of the way at bedtime.
I am a big fan of pool noodles, thanks for the idea!
I am sure the kitties will share.
HA,HA,HA!
