Sweet Marlin, I think Barry's Fritz (who's also a Bichon) recently had a similar problem, and as I recall, was instructed to bark to let his people know when he needed up or down. SO ... maybe that can go for you, too. Be careful honeybun. (smooch)

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

LOL. PLEASE do not encourage him! There is a reason we call him "General Patton!" (Anyone who knows the story, even the President, FDR, couldn't order THAT one around!)Originally Posted by Pam
I'll suggest that!
CassiesMom: can't "instruct" him to bark when he is ready to get down, see "General Patton" comments above!
Marlin appreciates ALL your support, encouragement and ideas.

I also hope Marlin will be all better after his "rest".
Maybe you could get a set of stairs for him to get up and down from dad's bed.......once he is healed, of course.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

Awe... poor Marlin! I definitely think dad's mattress should be moved to the floor to make it more accessible for Marlin as well.
They do make those elevated stands for the food and water bowls, maybe you could find one of those for him?
