I am intrigued though about the ramp idea! |
I totally agree and training will help, if I am in bed reading and Lola is not she will come to the side where I am and just stand there either on all fours or on her hind legs and then I pick her up and put her on the bed, if she was able to jump up on her own I would just shut my bedroom unless I was in there. My floor is carpeted but so many people have wood floors, when I sleep at my sisters the bed is smaller and the room is hardwood, so like it or not Lola must sleep on the floor in a nice comfortable bed of her own because I am so worried I might boot her off the bed or she would decide to jump.
Just happened to see this thread it's at the top of the sick and injured page
