I wish she'd use the box, so I am not sure if the steps would be good for her ... but try it first with a small box ... (not TOO small)
Good Luck,

lucky me I'm not gullible lol
but I was very gullible late this summer when it was SOOO hot
the car cooler thing
that you stick in the window and it has a fan
didn't work at ALL
I mean the fan worked, but it was like... not even as powerful as flapping a piece of paper!!!

but I want those cool hangers that you put all the stuff on them, and then they fold down to save space!!!!!!

My dad made steps to the bed & covered them with carpet for my first Yorkie over 20 yrs ago. They have been wonderful. I now have three Yorkies that use them ALL the time. I can't even imagine not having them. I don't know about the ones you buy but I'd suggest letting your husband make them the right size. Mine has three wide steps.

my mom bought the 6 second ab workout at target, as seen on tv, well she made me buy it. Even though i told her it doesn't worok she made me. and i laugh everytime i see her do her little workouts that dont do a thing, they haven't toned her up a bit, doesn't work!

I got the one touch can opener as seen on tv from walmart and it works really great. I love it.
I do want to try the shed ender, I will have to go out and buy it and see how it works.

I was so excited..... they looked really great, they were easy to put together, seemed sturdy enough, but..... they were 3 little short podunk steps that didn't come 1/2 way up the side of the bed. Inside the box was a certificate that "entitled" the purchaser to buy a riser set for an additional $9.99. I was so mad! I bought my "as seen on tv" at walmart. I took them back.

I gave mine away. They were too steep and Giz was too afraid to go down them. The steps weren't deep enough.

I looked up the steps last night cause I have an upside down laundry basket with a towel on it and the steps are ONLY 4" high- that's very small

I think that one has a hard plastic frame just covered by fleece. Better ones are made of foam. I did not think the plastic frame ones looked like they would last too long. They had some at Walmart in their "As seen on TV" section. I snooped in the box and decided against it. I do need to find a good buy on the foam steps or ramp though. This little Ben of mine thinks he can fly off the sofa and bed.

My favorite "as seen on TV" story is about the Ginsu knives. For some reason my oldest son kept after me to order them and I finally did. He was about 13 at the time. I came home from work one day to find a mess of sliced tomatoes on the kitchen table along with a tin can cut in half. I just about had a fit -- he could have cut his fingers off! But the knives had come in the mail and he immediately wanted to see if they could cut a can in half and then slice perfect tomatoes, just like the commercial. He's a grown man now and I am thinking about getting him his own set of Ginsu knives as a gag gift for Christmas. Thanks for starting the thread and giving me the idea.

I bought the doggy steps at Target. On the back of the box it had a picture of the steps up to the bed of a truck and a small dog just jumping right in

There was not any measurements on the outside of the box so I didnt have anythign to go by. Well when I got home they were tiny! I do use them in my living room going up to my couch which works well. But there is no way that they are going to work for your bed unless your bed is barely off the floor!

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but I LOVE the bacon maker!!!

Nothing like super crispy bacon out of the micro. They only drawback is that your micro smells like bacon the next 7 times you use it.

I Love Bailey · 11-11-2006, 06:04 PM

I have been looking for steps to make it easier for Bailey to get on our bed(right now she jumps from floor to my rocking chair to our bed)
I went looking for those doggy steps from TV, Walmart had them in an opened box, they are so small, cheap looking and expensive. I am back to looking for stairs; trying to talk my husband in to making Bailey a set.

We have the doggy steps but we bought them at a department store. Jo-Jo and Riley will run up the steps but jump down...kind of defeats the purpose except that Jo is too short to jump up.

red98vett · 11-11-2006, 06:16 PM

I guess I'm stickin to the upside down laundry basket with a towel on top - Chanel learned from 6 months on them and never jumps straight off the bed -but miss Cheri thinks she has wings - but we're working on it now that my bedroom finally has a tv - we may hang out in it a bit more...

They have them at Petsmart but they were too low for my bed. I have a very high bed with pillow top matress so it's almost 3 feet high. It cost a lot more but I got ours from PetEdge.com and I love it! The top step is about 20" and is just perfect for Jazzie. It's very sturdy and made of wood and it can be used as steps or ramps.
