this is Petey "Lil Pete" Peterdog, a 15 year old mystery mutt i inherited from my recently deceased grand dad. like all dogs, he is good. he is sweet and kisses u alll over ur face and he has arthritis so he walks funny it is adorable but also sad
here's my question: petey no longer possesses the ability to walk up stairs so we have to take him out to go potty during the course of the day. problem is, lil pete sometimes goes crazy when you attempt to pick him up and snarls and bites and makes all kinds of crazy ass sounds. i know it's b/c he's old, cranky and probably p uncomfortable a good deal of the time, esp if he's been lying down.
we're always super gentle when we pick him up and once he gets outside he's frolicking around smelling flowers like shit didnt just happen like he wasnt snarling and hissing and shit
anyways, is there a way to make him stop freaking out???? his bites hurt
my old arthritic dog cant do stairs very well. but she can still kind of do them. she likes us to put a towel or something under her so we can shoulder most of the weight while she struggles along the stairs. i a lways think "this would be way easier if i just picked her up" but i think she finds that undignified.

lol, yeah. i like to 'run' him up the stairs, like i'll support his body weight while half carrying him up the stairs and he moves his little legs like he's doing it all by himself. :'D
what kind of doggie you got?

When he brings in the news paper he always tears the entire thing to shreds except for a single tech article about social media web sites, so he's going to be put down. I'm sorry.

Zorba was just shy of 350. not that us strong rhizzone posters would have trouble lifting him, or anything.
