Wilko's do dog stairs. M_F dog started to slip the odd time so we got her some. They are fab. She can now come and go as she pleases.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

I’ve looked at storage boxes too, but she’s a large heavy dog and it would need to be big enough and sturdy enough for her to dare jump on it ☹️. I did have one bookmarked so I’ll have another look, thanks.Sun_Addict said:My dog isn’t great at jumping on the bed now she’s older so I bought a padded storage box and put it at the bottom of the bed so it acts as a step for her. A plus is that I use it to store bedding.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

The one I got was Home Harmony faux leather storage ottoman from Amazon. I got the largest one and it’s very sturdy. I was so impressed with it I bought a smaller one so she can get onto the window seat too.WinterWarrior said:

They look good @Sun_Addict. Unfortunately her (huge) dog bed means there’d be no room to walk if we had an ottoman where she needs it. We did measure. We’ve plumped for a sturdy ramp with a very high weight limit, which should work if I can hopefully talk her through it and she doesn’t panic or refuse. It will take a week to arrive so I’ll report back. I just don’t want her to be left out of the gang when her old bones don’t feel up to jumping.

Maybe a snack trail starting elsewhere and leading up the ramp will help if she's not keen?4

Gosh, everyone's very quiet today! How's your first day off @WinterWarrior? I bought some birthday flowers for a friend and treated myself to some fruit and nut. I don't seem to be capable of buying someone else a present without buying myself something - I'm sure that says something terrible about me as a person. I do have a 'present' pot so it is budgeted - not the chocolate though 🤦
Have also booked Disneyland Paris tickets for 8yo and I for April - will give them to her tomorrow. She'll be so excited 😁4 -
Oh @elbree that’s so me… ‘that would make a lovely gift…I’ll take two (one for me)’ 🤣
it does seem quiet around here today. I took dog for a longish drive this afternoon, logged on to work to send something time sensitive I needed to get off, made food, attempted to crochet a granny square following a tutorial (that’s a nope from me, but I’ll keep trying) and that was about it!Disneyland 😮😮😮 how lovely!I’m going to have a mooch around the diaries now 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
