We have three ramps. One is a sliding thing we got first. It is a bit of a pain in the neck and all too easy to get fingers caught in. It works, but I do like my skin. The best one we have is a two section Pet Gear folding ramp. It is long enough to allow the hounds to get into Rich's van or the small BUV that I purchased it for, without being too steep. It is a bit steep for my Houndie Santa Feyfey. I do have to lend a hand sometimes for Pawtunia to get in, although she does not mind her butt scooped. It has a latch on the side, is sturdy and we use it almost exclusively. We also have a small folding ramp that is supposed to be for vans. It is good, not long enough for the BUV but will do for a van. If you want ours, you can have it for Willie. <br><br>Pet gear now has freestanding ones with folding supports underneath. They look good. If I had to buy a new one I might consider how those work..... but since their products are pretty indestructible, I figure the ones we have will be here long after I am gone. <br><br>Here's the page. Shop around. Amazon usually has good Pet Gear prices. <br><br>http://www.petgearinc.com/products.asp?cl=7 <br><br>dawnslave <br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://lists.dailydrool.org/pipermail/dailydrool-dailydrool.org/attachments/20150527/8130d6a4/attachment-0001.htm><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 3<br>Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 18:17:15 -0400<br>From: Julie Canny via Dailydrool <dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org><br>To: "dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org"<br> <dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org><br>Subject: [Dailydrool] Digging in the Rain?<br>Message-ID:<br> <CACgODjAX4xzrPEWKhGGvPB5CQ3pzS6UdyQBoHx-hkvxV7DaK9w@mail.gmail.com><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br><br>Yeah, Bronwyn!

It is still in service today. I LOVE IT!! It is VERY sturdy, has carpeting for doggy toes to grip, and best of all, I can literally handle it with one hand if need be. It is light in weight, but NOT in its construction. It can support 200 pounds easily, and I've even used it for things other than hounds...like heavy suitcases. I highly recommend DogRamps.com. The service from them was quick, too.<br><br> I wish now, though, that I'd seen into the future a bit more and bought the longer, telescoping ramp because my Honda Odyssey sits a bit higher in the rear deck where my crates go and makes the incline a bit steep, so I have to help the kids into the van by using their harnesses as "handles". My present ramp is ideal for getting them in and out the side doors, though, because it makes a lower incline. I am looking to purchase the longer ramp, and will definitely go back to these folks when I buy.<br><br>For those of you with a pool, check out their pool ramps, too!<br><br>Lisa Metzler (toppogigio@yahoo.com)<br>Addie, Annie, Ariel, Madison, and Rocky<br>...and Penelope, Jasmine, and Pelly (ATB)<br><br>Sent from my iPad<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 7<br>Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 18:12:30 -0700<br>From: Brenda Waldrop via Dailydrool <dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org><br>To: Daily Drool <dailydrool@dailydrool.org><br>Subject: [Dailydrool] URGENT: Basset in need, Colorado Springs!!<br>Message-ID:<br> <CAO0HBA6wNRE74jsMTBy06T0MuFhmwMz+2Up_LxuWJ2Nbpq9GQw@mail.gmail.com><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br><br>I just received a call from a friend of mine in Colorado Springs.

Remember how I told you the mom got off her duff and finally<br>made some homemade treats--Banana Pumpkin brownies? Well here is the deal,<br>while they were still warm (but not hot) she cut us some and let us eat<br>them. They were very yummy and a respectable sized treat. Then she decided<br>that she cut them too big for a rgular treat. So she chilled them so she<br>could cut them up smaller! She cut the size we got before into 4 treats! Is<br>there some law that governs the size treat we are supposed to get? I think<br>she is breaking it. I don't want her jailed or anything. Afterall, the dad<br>isn't going to make homemade treats, but I want her to be threatened with a<br>fine for not complying.<br><br>Jennifer here. I am going to use this opportunity to give a brief tutorial<br>on treats. Some of you may know I have a degree in animal science and a<br>minor in nutrition. On top of that I am fascinated by dog nutrition and<br>read everything I can get my hands on about the subject. If you go to<br>dogfoodadvisor.com there is a section where you can figure out how many<br>calories your dog is supposed to be eating per day. Keep in mind that this<br>is no more set in stone than our calorie requirements. Different factors<br>can change this. You can look on your bag of dog food, go to their website,<br>or call customer service to find out how many calories are in a cup of dog<br>food. Here is the clincher: your dog should only be eating 10% of his or<br>her calories in the form of treats. This is why my treat size is so small<br>unless it is veggies or fruit. Just like us, they can eat a lot of those!<br>Do your basset a favor and if possible, keep the weight down. It really<br>helps those little short legs and backs. By the way, if your dog is very<br>sick or very old or both, all this goes out the window. Llewis can eat<br>whatever Bev can get him to eat.
