From the L.A. Times comes this great story about how to build a stylish and useful dog ramp. I like the addition of the ramp treads for traction.
Ruby doesn’t sleep in our bed, but she has a tough time getting herself out of the lake we visit. This weekend, though, my brother-in-law built a step near the dock so she and her doggie cousins could get out. Ruby says thanks Sean!

Eunice needs this, but she is not as trim as the bulldog in the picture.

Great article. I tried something like this but ended up purchasing this: http://www.loadingrampstore.com/cat/Dog-Ramps-and-Pet-Stairs/1.html. It ended up being cheaper than the materials.
