| A question about stairs- not stares Tiny tiny Tia ( just over one pound and 11 weeks) shocked me today. My sons were downstairs watching TV with Tia and I went upstairs to get breakfast ready and turned around and there was Tia. I asked my kids who carried her up and the said no one. I thought I best test this so went downstairs. Guess who followed me? Went back upstairs, she was running up the stairs behind me. We got Bailey when she was 2 weeks old, one pound heavier and it took her another month to do those stairs. So okay, love it cause I can get rid of the baby gate... is there any drawback anyone can see to me allowing her to do this. Oops, she just beat Bailey up the stairs

| None of my furbabies can go down or up my stairs and I prefer it that way . . . just easier for me to concentrate on one floor I must admit Tia sure is a HAM for being able to go up and down with ease . . especially since she is such a teeny such a brave and daring furbaby! |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | How sweet (following mommy?) and smart of her too. Ruby uses her three steps to the couch or bed, but I worry about her tumbling off the side of them. They are only about 24" tall though. I too, would be concerned Tia could fall down the stairs, with you watching and ready to rescue though, how can you not let her?

| Wow,Tia is one brave little girl! Jaxon wouldn't try stairs forever! Around 7 months he finally went up the carpeted ones from the basement and the hardwood ones to the 2nd level. He still won't go down to the basement and just recently goes down the hardwood ones. He's 9 months!

| Yes she is brave! Sometimes too brave for my liking!!! Again, as long as no one has had a real bad experience allowing this freedom.. I'll breath

| Annabelle has been going upstairs for two weeks, she is 16 weeks old now. Sometimes, she goes upstairs by herself to go play with the cat. I can hear her barking up there, it is like she is a kid playing in her room or something. |

| It took Brownie FOREVER to learn how to use the stairs and she would whimper every time she went up or down. Up to this day, she doesn't like walking much, and going up or down big stairs she still gets a bit whiny...

| Sissy started doing the stairs at 14 weeks (2 lbs). About 4 days into it, she fell down the stairs (thank goodness we only have 5 stairs, but they are hard wood). I'm still not sure exactly what happened, but think that she got accidentally knocked backwards by Sheena (our Eskimo Spitz). That was the last time she went down the stairs!! She still goes up with no problems, but will stand at the top and whine if she wants to come down. Just keep a close watch on Tia an hopefully she will continue to be all right.
