If the dogs could have, would they have helped him to his feet?
I wish we could predict or at least have some idea ahead of time of when The Curmudgeon will have a bad day. At least then I might be awake and downstairs when he can’t get up from the floor or ground.
I really wish we didn’t have to worry about that sort of thing at all. However, we do. He had a bad day today. He told me he had to sit down on the floor on the back porch for a bit yesterday morning when he felt as though he was going to fall.
Later the same morning, and still before I got up he was on the floor in the kitchen.
The dogs were no help. They assumed that he was down on the floor to play with them! The Curmudgeon says that Gavin kept poking him in the ribs and back while Patty tried to get in some kisses. They do love their Daddy. It’s bad enough that he was struggling to get up, but then, with a case of the giggles, it was even more difficult for him to get to his feet.
You all have a good one.

Having the giggles to make it harder to get up is a blessing. The pups are helping the best they can and if they knew he needed their help I suspect Patty would design a pulley system and supervise Gavin to set it up.
I bet you are right.
Awwww! Your doggies sure would help their daddy to get back up on his feet! Sorry he has to have these bad days but it is wonderful for him to mostly have good days. I am amazed that he still drives! Blessings to you both!
Oh, yeah he still drives. However if I’m going with him I drive–I don’t want another heart attack.
