A few weeks ago, my dog hurt his leg. I thought heβd heal up super fast and be able to go back to normal, jumping up on the bed and cuddling on the couch. Unfortunately, life had different ideas. Itβs now been almost a month since Rollo has been able to cuddle with me in bed, and since heβs too big to lift I decided to make him some steps.
I have a little experience with woodworking since I grew up with my dadβs wood shop in the basement, but I didnβt have all the tools I needed to make this project. I called up my neighbor who has a whole set up in his back yard and he told me to come on down. He lives just down the road, so I carried a few pieces of scrap wood to his place and we got started.
I donβt want to go into much detail on this project since it isnβt my expertise, but here are the dimensions: Each step is 10β tall, 12β deep, and 24β wide. We did a total of 2 steps so that Rollo would only have 3 steps to get into the bed. The wood is raw right now, but I am thinking about putting some stain on it this weekend to match the rest of my room.
It was nice to be in a woodshop again. I got to smell the sawdust, hear the blades cut through the wood, and put in some practice with power tools. Best of all, Rollo can get on my bed again and spent all last night snoring right next to me!
