Your dog may be aging and wants to go for a ride with you. If you are like me, I love to take my dog with me, but he has a hard time getting into the SUV.  Jumping up into a vehicle is very painful for a dog if there is a totenstorewith20dogproblem with their joints or hips.  Arthritis may have started to become a health problem and moving around will be difficult. Watching your dog trying to walk around is heartbreaking, and because your aging dog  is part of your family, you want to help them as much as possible to make life more comfortable and enjoyable.

There are many products designed to help your dogs mobility and will enable them to move around easily with less pain.  Dog ramps are great to help them get into your vehicle instead of jumping up to get inside. Jumping is painful so as your dog ages, you must always be aware of your dog’s discomfort. The dog ramps are usually about 6 feet long, but can be longer to accommodate the slope required for them 2000cfcba86f37f8d3bc7adb4e135743to walk up and down comfortably. There are telescopic dog ramps that slide inward for maneuvering easily, and are lightweight. There are ramps that fold, and are longer and wider, but this depends on where you need to use it. The slope is important in deciding the length, depending if your dog likes to ride in the back of a pickup truck, a boat, an automobile, or an SUV. Whichever you choose will be affordable and you and your dog will get many fun times together, going for a ride.  Be Happy!

Pet parents have given their dogs a life to be shared and loved by others who understand what it is like having a dog as a pet.  They are part of your family and will remain so, until death.  A wonderful article several years ago about the death of a dog, included a statement from a very youny boy about how he felt in witnessing his old faithful dog pass away from a fatal illness.dogue-de-bordeaux-2-picture1It seems as though the family were discussing the dog’s demise, explaining why such things have to happen.  The boy’s parents were trying to console him with their thoughts when the young boy said he knew why.  When “humans are put on this earth they learn how to live good lives, be good to their friends, love everyone, and always be nice and polite to each other.   Well dogs don’t have to stay around for a very long time, because they petstep-ramp-graphite-khakialready know how to do that.”  Love one another, use kind words when speaking, live a simple life, and love with generosity.  Pet parents spend a lot of time taking care of their pets, and if they are old and somewhat crippled, provide a dog ramp for them to be able to get into their vehicle, making sure they are safe, and provide a good life for them.  Dogs return the favor back to their pet families, tenfold. 

  • If there is something that lays buried, dig until you find it.

That shows the secret of being successful, being persistence.

  • Don’t shrug away when someone wants to touch you.

They just want to be close.

  • Always, run to the door when someone you love comes home for the day.

This displays love and caring.

  • Having a bad day, stay close, nuzzle against them and be silent.

Two things we should all remember – who struck them when they were down, and who helped them on their way back up.

  • Napping is good.

Stressful lives and understanding when to limit yourself getting up and down. If nothing else, take a break and usually your disposition will be lifted.

  • Go for a joy ride.

Have you ever laid down on your back, and felt the grass under your body?

  • Take long walks.

Besides getting your exercise, you are breathing fresh air for extra energy that perhaps you did not have before.

  • Loyal toward your fellow man.

Loyalty is one of the finest qualities that a human being can possess.

  • Play and run as much as you can.

These things offer a peaceful and calm attitude that everyone needs one time or another.

  • Growl, do not bite.

Always keep your temper under control if possible, but if you are not up to par, let people know.

 Be Happy!
