Tibbe slips fairly often on his stairs and his ramp as he's reckless and not given to thinking when he hears a cat yowling or another dog barking "wrong" or someone is at the door. Charlie will likely lose his footing on just a wooden stairs if he comes off or onto it at the breakneck speed Tibbe does. Tibbe just scares me to death he hits those steps going so fast. He's fallen off more than three or four times and his are carpeted. |
That is true. We've decided to carpet them. The ones upstairs for the bed are carpeted, but we bought them that way.
So far he has ignored the stairs and keeps jumping up and down on the couch as usual. Oh well. Once he realizes they are there for him, I am sure he will use them. He uses the one by the bed every time. Then again, the bed is a lot higher than the couch.
