Before I got these steps, I put wooden blocks that I had in the shop and ran them along the entire length of the couch, so that she couldn't go around them. As she jumps off, she has to go over them and they are too big to jump, so it forced her to use them. Then they became a habit and she uses them as a step. Bummer is, if I remove some and leave only one, or with this little stair step I bought, she goes around it and jumps off. Like, "get this dang thing out of my way". So, the only thing that I think will work is to run them the length of the couch. Her shoulders give her trouble and I don't want her to end up crippled. So, I may just have to bust out the $ and go get two more stair steps, thankfully they are only $20 each at Target, cheapest I've found.

Good luck with Stella!

Hi.
We are trying to get Stella into the same habit with not jumping up and down off furniture, we have a step for her for the couch, but she refuses to use it.
I have gotten her into the habit of letting me lift her out of the car, which is a really far jump, but she still jumps off the bed.
Let me know if you figure out the magic formula.

Tiffany and Stella

she is so cute, love her new steps, I hope she does use them.

a while back when you said that Betty would make me smile again with her bullie antics. I didn't think she could, but you were right.

She caught on to the steps quick! Good girl.
What a cutie!

she is looking beautiful,

Nice job Betty! Stella has the exact same ones. I wasn't sure she'd use them either but she took to them right away and always used them, except in cases of uncontrollable excitement.

Hopefully it's just a leftover spasm of the sphincter and that will be THE END of the gall bladder issues! (Or, so I'm hoping!)
Wiggle butt/body rottie love - nothin' quite like it! I had Kano in for some aquatherapy and physical therapy last week. She kept licking the vet's face during the massage and passive range of motion exercises. Nasty vicious rottweiler - HAH! lol

So glad she came out clear in the US. How did you do in yours?

Radiologist said she didn't see any gall stones, but the report won't get to the doctor until Friday or Monday to decide what was causing me such pain. He said last week that if it went away, I could have passed it. But that there would probably be more, and there weren't. So, another mystery! Just glad to not be in pain and my flu is over the hump too.

Also, I got me some rottweiler love at the vet today. Two were there for checkups and I got to love on them in the lobby. Good for the soul.

Thank you for asking.

Dawn

That's wonderful, Dawn!
I also loved how she got the "business end" pointed right at the camera before she cut loose! lol
How did your U/S go? Sending good thoughts and prayers!
