| Meesha's homemade ramp!!:) So my father helped me build a ramp for meesha, it was so easy, we bought 3 shelving boards, cut off a triangle edge on 2 of them to make the shape for the sides, (then stapled with heavy duty stapler) thin mattress foam to the ramp board, covered them with black and leopard fabric, stapled it to the back of each secotion then screwed it all together, cost was much cheaper then buying a ramp and looks better then most i've seen in pet stores, please excuse my unmade bed... ever since getting meesha i have left it messy, she cuddles in it..and have all my pillows lined up against the wall, and on the floor(i moved the floor ones so you could see the ramp better) lol she zooms up and down it like a pro! |

| It looks wonderful. I'm glad she likes it and is using it. Now she can get up there so easily and she'll be safe.

| Thanks everyone ya all I could find around here were big plastic pet steps almost 200$, and pet ramps that only went halfway up my bed and were ugly, so for anyone having a hard time finding a ramp for their yorkie ,it's easier to make one then I thought,I thought it was going to turn out so bad and be too steep for her,but she loves it, sometimes instead of walking down it though she'll slide all the way down on her belly, its sooooo funny!!!lol |

| SOO CUTE!!! That is definitely something to consider for my apartment. I bought $80 steps for my boyfriend's bed so Geno could go up and down but we improvise at my place and make a mini pillow ramp for him but sometimes the pillows fall so he'd be stuck on the floor. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you for everything?
