Derby

On a hot summer day, Derby loves to lay down on the cool hardwood floor. He just relaxes on the floor, and lounges like a king.

The problem is when he wants to get up, he needs some assistance from us to give him a boost. You see, the floor is slippery and smooth, and due to old age, he is not as flexible as a younger dog. Of course he has no issues getting up from a carpeted or paved surface. Still, knowing that he can’t get up on his own from the hardwood floor, he keeps doing it when he gets too hot. What can you do?

 But he sure looks cute laying down on the floor, enjoying the coolness. Don’t you think so?
