Our Yorkies have little stairs so they can get up on our bed. We got a new mattress in November and it's about 5 inches higher than our old one. The little guy, Miles, has had some trouble making that last vertical leap up on to the mattress from the top step. And he's freaked himself out because a few times he's hit the side of the mattress and then the floor. He paces around the bottom of the steps, trying to work up the courage to go for it. It's exhausting!
So Hubby decided to make a small platform to raise the steps up a little. As his lovely assistant, I handed him the drill and screwdriver and took photos. :-)
He bought 4" fence posts and sanded them ...
And sprayed black rubber coating on the bottom so they won't slip or skid on the tile floor.
And spray painted them to match our bedroom furniture ...
He even spray painted the clips and screws he used to attach the stairs to the posts ...
Here is Miles checking out the stairs without the cover on ...
The frame lined up on the posts ...
Attached with conduit clips and screws ...
All put together ...
With the cover on ...
Ready to go next to the bed ...
Coming soon to a theater near you ... "Dog Stairs: The Movie."
And that is enough silliness for one day!!!
