Why don't you build a small zig zag ramp?

getting them up and down.  I would love to have some way for them to go out the 
door and down their section of yard without my needing to go.  

I did talk to an contractor who suggested enlarging the porch but stepping it 
down into two new levels having a total of three which would make it easier for 
them and roomier for us.

  I had a thought about why not make them an "elevator" out of a kennel, they 
step in and you have rope and pulley tied to it at the top and you raise them 
up or lower them down, chi's and maltese are so smart they would soon be 
telling you when they wanted to go up or down : )

I have been thinking about making it a little easier for my dogs.......3lb chi 
and two maltese to get up and down the steps which they refuse to do on their 
own but seem to be having a bit of trouble coming up with a solution.  

I started out with material to make a small ramp on the rail side of the steps 
and put little speed bump treads to make it easy but it seems to be way to 
steep for that even.  I have a large fenced in yard but I have also purchased 
enough picket fencing to fence off a safe area for them at the bottom.  
Currently the dogs use a pee pad on the porch and it works great however the 
porch is small and it leaves little room for us.  

Any other ideas?
