As some of you know (and at least one has seen...), I currently have the typical white trash TV set up: The working TV in front of the big TV. I paid $375ish to get it fixed last time, it's 5 years old, probably needs to be replaced but I've been too lazy to go and find someone who will deliver a new one and take the old one.
Ferdinand, my 10 year old pug, is becoming lame on his hind legs. A $2K doctor visit told me he has a fluid filled cyst on his back and a bulging disk in his neck - probably the cyst causing the problem, but I haven't take the next step, surgery, yet and not sure if I can put him through that.
ANYHOO.....for the last few weeks he hasn't been able to get on the sofa. This is OK if I'm on the sofa, but if I'm upstairs and he decides to get down, then I either go put him back up or listen to him whine. So I got him a set of little stairs that go up to the couch

They are conveniently right in front of the table that hold my working TV.
I'm in the market for Elvis paintings on black velvet next.
