Cruisi' Suzi here. Just wanted to update you on how great I'm doing with steps and stairs. Fo'Ma sez there's a bit of a difference between steps and stairs, though in the end they're all the same. (Not quite sure what she means by that). Anyway, I want you to know that I'm doing great with the steps!
Fo' Ma and Fo' Pa took me to this place called a university campus where there were all kinds of wide open spaces and lots and lots and lots of steps. I was really scared at first. I mean I understand forward and back, but up and down is a whole different ballgame.
Fo' sister Opal helped by running up and down and up and down the steps to show me how. Then Fo' Ma and Pa helped me go up and down one paw at a time. If I do say so myself, I think I'm a quick learner! I had a ton of fun but the funny thing is, when I got back home, I'd forgotten how to do it and they had to teach me all over again. But now I'm totally on it! I'm running up and down the steps like nobody's business. But the stairs, that's another matter. Lets just say I'm still workin' on that.
Fo' Ma sez not to worry. If I can do steps, I can do stairs!
