Baby Steps

our hoomans are so good to us!
as some of my friends know, i've been sick the last 3+ weeks.  we don't know exactly what was going on, but we are hoping it was some sort of infection from my tooth pulling before Labor Day or possibly a herniated disk.  either way, it had ma & paw worried sick and me feeling pawful!
so i've been on a round of meds that included a muscle relaxer, antibiotic & steroid. now i'm down to just the steroid & feeling much better!  but to make life easier for me my hoomans made me a nice set of steps for getting up into the bed!
paw used his awesome welding skillz to build the frame

and ma used her upholstery skills to cover some fiber board (OSB) with remnants from an old painters tarp!

it's actually 2 benches.  ma calls them Nested Benches cuz the smaller one slides out of the way under the larger one.
you can see that Baxter really took to it.

i'm still not so sure about it.  but i do appreciate the gesture.  up next:  a doggie stair lift!  no kidding!
