Little Dog in a Big World

Posts Tagged ‘Front Door Entrance’

Every other time we went outside, we went out back down the ramp and then out the back gate.  I figured it was time to see if I could get her out the front door since it might be necessary at times.

Getting Sierra out of the front room took some effort.  It was like obstacle course 101.  There are new scuff marks on the coffee table as well as tire treads on the hallway wall.

Getting her to the door was the easy part.  Getting her out was another thing.  The problem was getting her over the little hump to the porch and then being ready to assist her before plowed off the porch.  I had the sling with the handles on her so, I was able to control her somewhat.  We didn’t do too badly going out the door.

Coming back in was another story.  I had to grab the door and open it before nervous Gertie decided to climb the porch.  Our first attempt was a failure.  She came up to soon and wiped out the solar Tiki lamp.

The second attempt went much better.  I was able to hold the door and grab the sling handles to help her up.  Then I hurried to be even with her so I could get her over the door jamb.

This was a little more tiring for both of us.  I am sure as we practice we’ll get better at it.
