Wood stairs are dangerous for everyone, including pups. We REALLY want to put wood in entire house but all the research I do about the stairs keeps us from doing it. |
Yay! I got a positive comment on the engineered wood! I know we will have to be extremely careful on the stairs and will keep the doggie gate up. (Didn't want to but I will for my girls sake). A couple of months ago my granddaughter-in-law slipped on the (carpeted) stairs with my great grand baby in her arms. They were both ok but it scared us all. Stairs can just be so dangerous regardless. I missed a step at our shop and went flying right into the wall below..head first! It was dark and I didn't see that last step! Thank God I had my purse as it broke the fall a little! My rooms upstairs are rarely used so maybe it'll be ok. If I don't like the wood or it just becomes to dangerous then I will cover them with carpet again or just look for other options to make them safer. Thank you so much for your input!! I knew I could count on my YT friends to bring things to my attention that I hadn't thought about.
