[Dailydrool] Doxies Rule

[Elsamarie5 at cs.com]

Marlene,
My doxie, Elsa, has to be lifted onto the bed with Archie (basset) and me 
since she can no longer climb the stairs. Once on the bed, she snuggles up 
next to me while Archie waits to be invited, he won't come up until she allows 
it. I had another dog years ago that couldn't handle jumping up on the bed, 
so I removed the frame and set the mattress on the floor, it worked good 
for Max, but I understand what you mean about the long descent down and 
getting up was a challenge. I had to laugh when you mentioned the "rocks", I don't 
dare mention my sleeping habits to non-dog type persons, they could never 
understand why I would tolerate such inconveniences just to snuggle up to 
those smelly, drooling varmints. I invested in a king sized bed, including 
electric blanket with dual controls (one for Archie) just so I could have room 
for myself.
It's obvious you have your priorities in the proper order, I am in awe of 
your superior wisdom and determination, Marlene, you are an inspiration to 
all of us.
