<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>The gang has a 4' x 8' ramp built out of
3/4 inch outdoor plywood. (The width of the stairs was needed or they
jumped over to the steps.) I love it because I have a ramp as well which
is great when I get in the wood or use nature's dryer.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I found a big piece of outdoor carpet on
sale at Home Depot that is rubber backed. I layed heavy plastic then the
rug over the ramp. Then I used washers and small screws to connect it
to the ramp. I run the vacuum over it and when it gets stinky the carpet
cleaner. It works like a charm!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

hip dysplasia, can run in and out all day. The carpet helps to keep
some of the yuck out of the house. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
