Otherwise you will get to the extent I was in Tulsa. I couldn't even walk across the complex to the office to pay my rent! Buying groceries was such anxiety all I wanted to do was die!

LOL No she's not heavy but she tends to squirm some and play when you go to pick her up jumping out of reach constantly. I solved my problem by making hubby deal with her, it's his dog afterall (besides, when he's home she wont go out for me unless the kidneys are really close to LadyStyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020724106526697135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128084663375627150.post-27148626195677066002008-04-15T15:18:00.000-04:002008-04-15T15:18:00.000-04:00Fair enough.

My Grandma had one when I was growing up. Still, the thought was there. Maybe she'll just get up the courage to try again one day? Then again, maybe you should get a doggy sized stair lift? LOL!

Glad Katy is ok. A tumble like that would have scared me too. We also have a Chihuahua. The lady advertised him as a tea cup Chihuahua. The minute I saw him, I fell in love, but it was obvious he had already passed any tea cup size (later research educated me that there really is no such thing as a "tea cup" chihuahua).

She doesnt stand nearly as tall as a Westie....which means her legs arent nearly long enough to be handling the stairs in the first place as they arent deep enough. I measured last night with my foot. I forced my heel all the way back (which meant the next stair up dug into the back of my leg) and the stair was LadyStyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020724106526697135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128084663375627150.post-30506218171901036602008-04-14T12:06:00.000-04:002008-04-14T12:06:00.000-04:00I completely understand where you're coming from a...I completely understand where you're coming from about needing to get out for yourself.

Hubby checked her over and she didnt squeal in pain or anything (must be all the fat on the little porker...). She just refuses to do more than sit at the stairs and makes no attempt anymore...not that I blame her, that had to scare the shit out of her.

I didn't realize you had a problem with that, based on your job at Wal Mart in December.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry about Katy's fall, but glad she's ok. Eventually, she'll get the courage to try again.
