I don't see the dog climbing up a ladder to clean her freaking gutters out, or mow her freaking lawn in the blazing heat of a Florida July weekend.

I've already told her if she winds up in the hospital again. when she comes home she will have three NEW pets (kind of).
Her old pets, stuffed and placed strategically around the house, safe from causing trips and falls.
They'll be the same, just not as "active".
Because they are dead and full of sawdust.

You have to understand, my Mom and I have a "unique" relationship.

LOL
