New Year's MORN, I woke up outside On concrete with a female NOT MY wife!

 That Car:

I thought this was Dog Heaven.......  my mistake..... But it is what it is..

 For today:

Mary Jane, JANIE, is old.  She and I have something in common, she is deaf.  Deafness seems to be common in English bulls. I am thinking also of Ole Hook, an Alabama throw away dog taken in by Rick and Jilda. Dogs that found those two animal lovers won the pet lottery! Anyway to continue on Janie. She has arthritis in her hips and can barely walk. She has skin tags in various places and one ugly growth. But we love her, she is the oldest of our grand dogs.

Here is stretched out in the Florida Sun. 

We are Granddog sitting. She cannot climb the steps into the coach, so we are trying to stay in the Mobile Home with her. BUT, but New Year’s night she refused to climb the steps. She weighs about 60 pounds and I cannot pick her up. She snuggled on her ‘cushy’ patio bed. AT least the patio is covered.

So I dug into my back pack and got my 1” sleep pad and sleeping bag and settled beside her for the night.  Since we are both deaf we could feel the booms and see the flashes, but the neighborhood sounds did not bother us.  Someone near musta invested a few hundred dollars in BIG BOOMS because there were about 4 hours of continuous BOOMS.

So I woke up with Janie this morning. We slept on the concrete, however she had a 4” cushy sleeper.  LOL.

After last night I decided to build a ramp. These are the steps she had to maneuver:

 

This is now the ramp put together fast with materials on hand. The non-skid is a rug and work towel. It should work until our sitting job is done. Hopefully no more than 2-3 days.

It took some encouraging, but she tried it, it worked.

To be honest Janie needs to find that doggie heaven I hear about (but cannot find scripture for)  It would be nice that one day I would see Janie meeting Ace,Tom(#1), Bingo, Casco, Stormy, Hendrix & Sir Logan . What tales those dogs & cats could tell.

Some fantasies make losses easier.

PS…. I do not recommend OLD people sleeping on concrete, much harder than the ground. LOL
