Pet Steps

[Freedom]

Melissa D, those doggy steps are the ones I bought. That web site does not tell you the height. I never noticed.

The 3 step one is 12 inches high. My bed is . . . 26 inches. Doesn't work for us. Plus as I say, Sugar is l o n g, and those don't accomodate her.

Maybe you could get some wood from Lowes? if you have one or Home Depot. I know my parents neighbor built a ramp for my brother when he was in a wheel chair for a little while and it worked fine... plus it might be an inexpense way to make a ramp...not sure if this will help but i hope so.

Bed Bath & Beyond where I work sells them for $19.99. If you PM me with your address I can send you a $5.00 off coupon which will help with the cost.

Another suggestion is go to Home Depot and buy a piece of wood wide enough for him and just prop it up so he can walk up it, sort of like a plank.

That's what I was going to say - Bed Bath & Beyond sells them really cheap!

Thank you all for the advice. I talked with my neighboor - who happens to be the maintnace manager for my apartment building. He is going to try and build a ramp for Buddy this weekend. He has some plywood left over from last hurricane season. If that doesn't work I might just go down to Bed Bath & Beyond and see what they have in the store.

Thanks again,
Janine

Almost forgot - some good news - My Aunt, who actually "owns" Buddy finally got a vet appointment, with her vet (- which I can't stand ,his staff is not always nice - kinda rude at times) for her next Saturday, hopefully I will be able to get her on some arthritis meds. I talked with my vet and she said that there are 2 new medications out, one which is in a liquid form (drops) is supposed to work very well. My vet said she has seen great improvments with other older kitties. Fingers will be crossed that this medicine will help my "lil buddy".
I am hoping to have some pictures up soon of Buddy.

Here is Buddy and my Dad, taking a nap. This was after "moving day", when my other 3 fosters came to live with me.
