Fortunately, this week I happened to be working from home. My daughter and granddog live a block from me and she called me frantically yesterday. She knows I am always on this forum and wanted to know if anyone on the forum had ever mentioned that their bulldog had gone upstairs and would not come down. I told her no, but a bulldog should not be allowed to go up and down stairs until they were two years old. Her English bulldog had already fractured his shoulder from jumping out of the car and he is only 9 months old. She had tried to pick him up and carry him downstairs but she was unable to do this because he weighs over 50 pounds. I took his harness and went upstairs and put it on him and then held up his front end and sat on the stairs and he and I together went down the stairs. I kept the weight off of his front end. When we got to the bottom of the stairs, he wanted to go back up them. The stairs were in her pool house and she did not know he was in the pool house. She did not realize the door was open. She now has put a gate at the bottom of the stairs so he cannot go up the stairs in case some lets him back out there. The things we have to do for our children, grandchildren, and granddogs!! LOL
