    My little dog has hurt himself. I let him out for a piss this morning and he came in limping. It doesn’t help that he leaps off the porch like a superhero. He seems to be getting better but I’m still keeping an eye on him.

      My JRT does superhero dives too. Never hits the middle step on the way down.

        JRTs are nutters. He had me worried and now he’s out there chasing birds.

          They’re pretty resilient usually!

      Might be time to make some ramps. I’ve been feeling the same about my wee fella.

        Honestly he wouldn’t use them. There’s one step there but he chooses not to use it unless he’s coming inside.

          It took my Toby a little while to use his ramp when he was getting older, but once he learnt that going the ramp didn’t hurt like jumping, he got a lot better. Plus teaching via yummo treats.

          Hope your dog isn’t too ouchies!

      Could be his knee or maybe arthritis? My sympathies, Melbcat is arthritic and I won’t let her jump anymore
