A House For Doobie

A small dog can’t jump very high,
At least our mutt can’t.
His head and legs are very short and skinny,
While his ears confirm Chihuahua in his blood.
Trouble is there is another breed, at least one,
That is long, fat and unable to run.
Doobie, that’s our dog’s name,
Prefers to rest on our living room couch,
but can’t without a little help from his friends.
We got Doobs a small 3-step ladder.
Of course that did not resolve other problems.
It’s a long couch and Doobs has trouble
navigating the length of the soft cushions.
This problem was addressed by the placement of
A series of small doggie beds, one on each cushion.
Now Doobs can walk up the ladder and consider
Which itty bitty bed he would prefer that day.
He may sample all three, before deciding.
Most likely this is both his mental and physical
Exercise for the day.
