Oh Liz, I can't believe it would be such a problem for him to walk up a couple of steps on a ramp, poor Buddy it would be a lot better for him to use it for a while.
A while back we didn't get mail for a week because the mailman said there were too many loose dogs around in the neighborhood, I don't know where they all went, I didn't see them. It seems not many people will make the effort any more, don't want to go that extra mile. Buddy is getting along in age with the rest of us and I think most of us have those aches and pains now that it's cooler. You give him a nice big hug from Daisy, Perry and me.
