Socrates likes to bring a toy, or chewy to bed at night. When he is ready to go to bed, he walks around the room with something in his mouth, and looks at me with pleading eyes to pick him up.. He can't jump on the bed as it is beyond his comfort zone. I bought a couple of stairs but returned them, as they were too low. He uses a step stool to get down, as I don't want him jumping, and hurting himself.. He is a very thoughtful guy, as he doesn't like to wake me up to take him out. He gets off the bed, and pees on the area rug, and then jumps at the bed to pick him up. Ughhh.. In the a.m. we have a "what were you thinking" discussion.. Otherwise, he is a great guy. He is very thoughtful in a ot of ways. He leaves me presents of chewies in my shoes. He has never destroyed anything in the house for the eight years I've had him..
