Just wanted to thank you guys!! I finally made it to Walgreens last weekend, I know it took me awhile but we don't have any Walgreens close by. And they still had the stairs for $10 so I decided to buy them.
The stairs were too short for my bed, although all Peppi had to do was climb up a little, she didn't even have to jump. But she coulden't even do that!!
So I added two boxes, one for Peppi and one for Scampers since he coulden't quite make the first step. It took her maybe 2 minutes for me to teach her what they were and how to use them. Now she uses them all the time!! She is so happy she has the stairs, she can climb up or climb down them anytime!! She just loves them!! Of course I think it has gotten to her head a little, "I am so spoiled I have my own stairs to climb up on the bed!!"

I am so happy that it worked out, no more lifting a chubby Peppi!!
Now if only I could teach the others to use them!!
Scampers can't jump up on the bed, he is not much of a jumper. So I am trying to teach him but he is scared to death of the stairs. But I have gotten him to the point to where if I put him him on the second, since there are now four, he will go up the rest of the way real fast, still being scared to stay on them for more than 3 seconds.

Destiny and Trixie won't use the stairs at all and could care less. They don't really need it as of yet because they are jumpers and jumping up on the bed is a piece of cake for them.

Again, thanks everyone for the recommendation and suggestion, it was greatly appreciated!!
