Drabble by Kevin Fagan for September 21, 2019

They forgot to read the directions.

For suitably small values of “portable”.

So close and yet so far!

Push Wally. Push.

We have those and the smallest dog whines whenever there’s a blanket blocking the steps.

Nice but far from thoughtful!

Someone had one job…….

Those steps are ultralight. Even he could push them over to the bed.

Pets on the bed=unhygienic pet owners.

Awww, poor Wally!

Your family is a bit disconnected.

That was just plain mean, even for Ralph….

One small set of steps for Wally, one giant leap for weinerdom…

I have a dachshund, a cat, and a chiwennie, I removed the the three steps into my kitchen and replaced them with a carpeted ramp. I also built two portable carpeted ramps that are 12" wide, and approximately 5’ in length.

One of those two portable ramps is at the foot of the bed, and the other is to one side of the living room, and provides access to the loveseat that functions as a couch.

Both the couch and the bed have cloth waterproof covers on them. Nice ones that are comfortable to sit on, not plastic. Wetness and pet hair need not apply.
