Sometimes Even Dogs Need A Helping Hand

Molly is almost 11 years old now and she has a hard time jumping up on the bed when it is nap time or time to go to bed. I first noticed it last week and with her I believe it is more psychological. She will stand at the end of the bed and whine aq little bit and I can feel her pawing at the bed. I will drag myself up and I never half to put a hand on her. I will stand behind her and she will get a jogging start and jump up on the bed like she is an Olympic High Jump Champion. I will stand behind her until I can no longer stand because I know she has done the same for me.
