<div>Mostly, our "stuff" is pretty low. We like modern-ish contemporary furniture, which is usually lower to the ground than traditional, antique-ish furniture. We have a platform bed with just a mattress (no box-spring). If we didn't have Frank and Tina, I'd probably raise it 4-6" to make it more comfortable for us humans. We have laminate flooring in the bedroom, and we have non-skid throw rugs all around the low bed so that when they jump off, they won't skid.</div>

<div>Our bassetmobile is now a Subaru Outback, which is quite a bit higher to get F+T into than the Element was. They both know to put their front paws up onto the back bumper, then we hoist up their back-end and in they go. Getting out of the Outback is another matter. We have a big heavy-duty cooler and a rubber mat that fits on top, so when they get out, we push the cooler and non-skid mat up against the back bumper. It cuts the down-distance about in half, so they hop down, one at a time, onto the cooler, then onto the street. That works fine, a bit of a pain, but no more than lugging steps or a ramp would be.</div>
