| AWESOME Bed Ramp So I was trying to find a good way to allow Pixie to get on/off the bed without having to jump (I don't let her jump off the couch either) and found this site: http://www.bestpetramp.com It's a little pricey, but are the bed ramps awesome! They're fully carpeted, have a very gradual slope and even have a railing on the side so they can't fall off! If only my husband was handy enough to build me something like this... I guess I'll be stuck buying it (whenever I can trust Pixie to not pee in bed anyway!) |

| I think both the stairs and ramps are great -- but far too expensive. I am sure you and your husband could make one for a fraction of the price. I know I could (and I'm a single 66-year-old lady). I've tackled far more difficult projects than that! Carol Jean |

| Ramp I posted this in another thread, but will do so again. Here is a ramp my husband built for Edie. It is carpeted and has a rail so she can't fall off. It is clamped to the footboard, so it doesn't move. I like it because it is only 6 inches wide, allowing me to walk around the bed. Most of the stairs you buy are at least 18 inches wide. It probably cost 10$ to make. A ramp is a lot easier to build than stairs, for obvious reasons. Edie learned how to use it very quickly. First I put her on the top, then I put her halfway up...she took it from there. |
