I just discovered the first disadvantage to being an empty nester...how to get a 100 lb. arthritic dog down the basement steps by myself.

“how to get a 100 lb. arthritic dog down the basement steps by myself.”

Take a large bath towel and put it under the dogs chest - side to side - then either straddle the dog or stand next to it holding the two ends of the towel.

Lift with your legs - not your back - and assist the dog in walking.

If you have a large wood carrier (canvas with built in handles) it works better.

Your Vet probably has meds that would make this a non-issue.

If I was there I would get him down there and you make the nest.

Ping for any freeper neighbor.

Let us know how you are after the storm.

Prayers of comfort for the canine and you.
