Dear Lucky,

I’m a small rescue Daschund who is getting old. I’m almost 70 years old (in dog years dogviously) and with my long back its getting hard to join my owner on his bed, its simply too hard to make the jump – what do I do?

Dear Ginger,

Don’t let your age get you down – in dog years 70 is the new 50. Here’s a new trick for an older dog – ask your owner for some doggie stairs. They make high ascents much easier and you’ll be able to snuggle in bed with your pet parent without waking them by barking to pick you up. Tired and grumpy pet parents usually don’t give lots of treats!
