9 Days Old – Innovation
Saturday, September 30th, 2017So Zhora’s currently rather….better endowed underneath than usual. This has meant that she on occasion scrapes her tender underparts on the box as she jumps in and out. Since her poor undercarriage is taking a bit of a beating from nursing and kneading and scratchy puppy claws (even though I am keeping them clipped), I thought it might be a good idea to make it a bit easier for her to get in and out so:
Behold the Edisonian innovation that is an upturned Rubbermaid container with a bathmat on top. It’s actually the warming box for the puppies where I put them when cleaning out the whelping box or doing their early neurological stimulation. But it’s UPSIDE DOWN and has a BATHMAT on top for traction. So I may patent it.
Either way, Zhora can get in and out more easily now, although I did have to actually get her to jump on and off a few times, because her initial reaction was to try and jump OVER it…
