Hello, Eli. I have a small project for animal owners. A couple of weeks ago, my 16 year old Jack Russell stopped coming up on the bed at night. I had a box in place for her, but recently, even that became too difficult to jump up on. I was going to buy one of those foam ramps, but I thought I'd try to make a ramp from cardboard. I thought it through, measured everything, and cut a big box into the shape of a ramp. I glued more cardboard throughout the inside for support. I put an old t-shirt over it for traction. I walked her up the ramp, then down it to get her used to it. That night, without trying to coax her, she came right up the ramp and onto the bed. I plan to buy a small roll of artificial turf to add to it for better traction, but for now, problem solved. I think she likes it, and I love it! 😂 Thank you for all the videos!!
That is amazing! It is wonderful and super encouraging to hear stories of people like you putting crafting skills to a practical and meaningful use. You are a fantastic pet owner (-: Would it be ok if I shared your story in a future video? Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. God bless you, - Eli
That's right. It is still the original creator's idea... You were just borrowing it for a little while while you're making your own project. Stay inspired, - Eli

@MakerBrain Thank you, Eli. Please feel free to tell people about the ramp. Hopefully, it will help others and their pets!
@@SandiRose2008 thank you! Your pet is a cat right?
@@MakerBrain She's a 16 year old Jack Russell dog. Don't let her hear you call her a cat! 🤣🤣
@@SandiRose2008 haha. Good to know... I don't know my dog breeds very well. 😂
