Are you going to consider getting a carpet runner installed on them or will you just keep the gate there forever? I know the carpet might be expensive and you might not have planned on it, but orthopedic surgery can be expensive too...If it is only going to be used for guests and you won't be going up there then the gate should be fine. I didn't know if it is an area you might also use without guests, and if your girl is like mine then she will want to come up when you go up.
Glad to hear she is okay. They really are our babies and we hate to see them hurt. |
