Higher degrees of patheticness
Meet Murphy:
Murphy is now 16 years old. He is arthritic and gets cold really easily; hence the cute little sweater. He gets grumpy easily. And I now have to sedate him to groom him.
We are totally indulgent and let him sleep in bed with us at night. Next dog? I don’t know if I’ll allow that again. Anyway…….. When he first started having trouble getting up into our bed we bought this nice little bench as a booster for him.
But then he needed a booster to get up to the bench, so we took this cushion off of our rocking chair………
Now his patheticness has increased. We’ve had to get him some stairs, which he loves, and move the cushion up to the bench. We also needed another rug to give him some traction on our wooden floors.
Grampa built Murphy this nice ramp, which still scares the bejezus out of him. I’m still hopeful that he’ll get used to it, because Grampa went to a lot of trouble. Peatsy says he’s not gonna use it either.
AND we also added another set of steps for the couch in the family room.
Is this dog not loved and indulged?
At this point I’ll do anything to make my pup’s last years as comfortable as I can.
I mean, look at him. Isn’t he just so darned cute?
Awwww! He is cute. And he’s lucky to have such a great family.
