Little Doggy Stairs

My sweet Scottie Gus is just a little too short to jump up onto my bed. Although I would love to get a mini workout in by lifting him up every time, I decided to make him his own mini steps.
I took a quick trip to Michael's and picked up two crates. 1 regular size, and 1 half size. You can get 2 half crates if you have a dog smaller than Gus who may need more steps.
I painted both crates with off-white chalk paint to match the rest of my decor, but here is where you can get creative! Paint your pets name, a stripe design or go all out with a collage of doggy pictures. (Man, I wish I would have done that)
After your paint has fully dried, apply E6000 to the bottom of the half crate and position it on top of the large crate. Let this dry overnight and voila you have mini stairs!
Action shot!
Now little Gussy can get up on the bed, in the car and onto the couch all by himself. Guess I need to get a real gym membership now...
