Benny

We still have our rescue dog, the big black staffy, who is quite old. He still goes for his short walks with Victoria who goes on her mobility cart. I can't walk with him but sometimes try to tag along behind. Benny likes to go out on to the drive then round the lawn and back into the house. He turns round and repeats that little walk time and time again. We have a problem with the wetter weather in that the lawn gets very muddy and he trails it into the house. We have cured that problem by putting down some interlocking rubber mats on the lawn He also slips on the painted front door step and falls down. We have cured that with some anti-slip tape which stops him skidding. The biggest project we did was for his failing eyesight. He is great in the daylight but when dusk approaches he whines and cries because he can't see as well.. We have helped him here by hanging out of the bedroom window, we can't climb ladders, and fitting an LED floodlight with sensor. Now when he goes out in the dark the sensor switches on the floodlight and he can do his circuit up the drive and back down and onto the rubber lawn.. We have mats in the house to keep his paws dry if it is raining.
Has anyone else done anything to make life easier for your pet?
