My Dog Lacks Opposable Thumbs

Jess is a youthful twelve years old and she thinks she should be with us at all times. Most distressing to her is knowing that one of us is behind a closed door. 

I just might spend twelve percent of my time opening doors for the dog, and an additional five percent saying, "Just a minute, Jess. I'm coming!" 

It would be more efficient to teach her to open doors. Or just to take all the doors off their hinges.

And then she'd figure out how to open the fridge. Ah. Never mind.
