That sounds like a more expensive, but better idea for all involved. Barbara & Raul [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] step question
I thought about that also but I would like to not be involved with 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 : )

<~~~Hope the image comes through.
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?
