thank you so much everyone for the advice and replies
. Hubby brought wood and such home today from work so he is putting together a ramp for me. I am going to sleep in the living room on our air mattress with Riley until the ramp is ready and I feel good about him using it.
I have just become such a extra softie about him, I thought I was bad with the other dogs we have had but Riley is more like a human kid to me than the others were.
