<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>My big, foster boy Freddie (68 lbs now) use a
little 2 step for the couch and the bigger one for the bed. It took
him about 2 days to learn to use them. I also use a 2 step for the
car. There is no way I can lift him. The only problem I really have
with the steps is the downward slant. I have to hold on to Freddie
when he goes down the steps because of the momentum. I also keep a heavy
rubber backed rug in front of the steps (I have hardwood floors) to keep the
gang from sliding when they go down the steps.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>Sadie Maye and Ruby Doo refuse to use the steps
to the bed. I think they are both leery of the steps. They consider
me to be a bad slave because I can't lift them but they will both use the two
step to get in the car. Go figure. I told them I would attempt
to make them a ramp...when I can start lifting more than 10 lbs.</FONT></DIV>
