My gorgeous boy Mushu sitting on the stairs waiting for someone to pick him up. Not very agile anymore as he is 15 years old.

Awww...how sweet Sarah. Been there, done that. I used to have to do it for our miniature Schnauzer-Max. He started having spinal disk problems-he used to love to run full speed up and down our stairs and jump up on our laps all the time. Sadly, we ended up having to put him down last summer because the pain-even with medication-got to be to much, to often-he would chew his back end raw trying to make the discomfort go away. It was probably the most painful decision we ever had to make-he was our best little buddy for almost 15 yrs. We did have him cremated though-my husband insisted-he misses him so much.

Oh Linda - I just dread the day. Mushu never leaves my side. He is eating well and we take him for a short walk every day but the time will come.......

Is it for going up or down ? He's almost there. Just one step more . Lucky his weight is ok to lift him up. My youngest dog does not want to go down the stairs at all. We also need to lift her and carry her down. Don't know how I can teach her to do so.

Mushu also waits for me to pick him up and put him on our bed. When DH comes to bed he immediately jumps down and gets into his basket.

Smart Mushu for knowing his limitations and using his charms.

He has started being a bit snappy of late. I have to get his nails clipped but he is not so keen on the idea!!

Mushu likes to spend a lot of time on the stairs. I have always been terrified that he will fall through the open stair. These days he likes some help!!

You could fix a carpet runner down those stairs if you want to, Sarah. They'd effectively put a 'back' on the steps so they aren't open and also give him a bit of grip. He's a cutie!
