Elderly Hound With Bad Hips Requires A Rug Maze

Feb 2, 2024

Dharma’s aging hips and elbows — plus her quirky fears that stem from those weaknesses — have my house a maze of rugs and runners. I know it looks jank but I can’t help it, and neither can she.

It’s proof that some will do about anything for their pets.

Some people treat their pets like… well… pets. Naturally, some fall below that threshold and some rise above it. I’m one of those, “my pets are my family” kind of people. Probably a little crazy, I know.

Funny, I can sit in a chair too long and get up and it’s obvious my back is bothering me. Dharma can do the same exact thing and I’m all paranoid. One limp from me and it’s no big deal. Let that brown hound limp and I’m ready to get her to the vet. It’s an all-out emergency. 🙂

I’ll just keep the hodgepodge of expensive mismatched rugs that form a maze for everyplace the ole’ girl wants to go.

Sure, it drives me batty because I like things in order. And yes, I’ll bitch about it. But I won’t be moving them. The good news is… if you visit the barndo, all you need to do is follow the mismatched rug road to see the wizard erm… sorceress.

Now you know: Wearing a tie can reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 percent.
