You know you love your senior when. . .
We've noticed Rocky having a harder time getting in and out of our Suburban lately. So we're having it lowered 4 inches this weekend.

Awww that is love.
 When I got Sinister I made the decision that I would never own a two story home because I couldn't bare the thought of him not being able to come upstairs and sleep by me.

Well, hubby had been thinking about lowering the Suburban for a while anyway. Rocky having trouble was just the push he needed to go ahead and do it.

I got a car that was lower to the ground just for the dogs when they get older. I will never live in a two story house either because it's so hard on them when they discover they can't go up and down anymore. A friend of mine slept on her couch for two years when her old dog could make it up the stairs anymore. I put in a permanent handicapped dog ramp off my back deck for them too.

I have 2 dogs with bad hips and i got the Otto step. i put a hitch on my SUV and the Otto Step go in the hitch reciever. it is a very light weight step that the dogs can use to help them in. it holds up to 200lbs but is lightweight to use.it cuts the height in 1/2 for the dogs and they took to it really quickly

Aww now that is one lucky dog to be so loved! If only all dogs had such a person!
In the year before my beloved Great Dane died, he had fecal incontinence when he slept. He slept in my bed with me every night since day one, next to me with his head on the pillow like a person. I woke up countless times to smeared poop all over my bed, but I just cleaned it up, washed the sheets, and gave him a hug. He was my guy, I'd do anything for him, but people actually told me they'd never have put up with it, which shocked me. I couldn't imagine making him leave his bed or worse, put him down because of it! Oh the things we do for love! Although yours is much more expensive, lol!
