Ok promise me you won't laugh..but it's like watching a baby develop skills all over again. Miss Maya has never been able to jump up on Mommie's big bed. Mika delighted in the territory that Maya could not conquer and loved looking over the bed at Maya's one millionth attempt to get up there where she was.

I would reach a hand down to get Maya and then would ensue her backing away from my hand even though she wanted to get up. If I stopped trying she would bark at me until I got UP out of the bed, and came to get her.

Needless to say, I finally went to Petco and bought some pet stairs. (I got the 25.00 version with some little carpet that fits over the 3 stairs. Like most things involving pets, they had some with some MUCH higher price tags).

Ok so then, how to get Miss Maya to realize they were hers and get her to use them??? I tried several things, then suddenly today it just clicked AND UP THE STEPS SHE GOES. ahhh life is good when you have a smart yorkie....

But now Miss Mika is running around the perimeter of the bed whining and Maya is up here barking at her and blocking all of her entrance attempts....someday we'll be together (sang it with Dianna Ross) LOL
