Hey, I've admitted to being "one of THOSE people" in the past -- my dog probably owns me more than I own her. My wife sometimes has to offer me a gentle reminder on this point. "Greg, YOU are the person, not Carmie."

Hey, I dote on her (as does my wife), in large part because with no children she is truly a pet-child. That is why I spoil her. And with our lovable mutt having reached her eleventh birthday last week, we are all too aware that she is aging and starting to slow down just a little bit. One of these days she may lack the spring in her step to jump up on our bed, and may need a bed of her own.

As I've started looking at dog beds, I have seen a number that strike me as being good possibilities for Carmie. No, not her own chaise lounge (Paula would kill me if the dog got a chaise before she did), but something a little less ostentatious that would fit in with our decor. Or maybe she would do better with something orthopedic that would help to soothe those old bones and joints and make her comfortable when we can't lift her up to join us in our bed. After all, she has been a great do for all these years, and she deserves to be treated with love and respect.
