Up until now, we have simply been lifting our dog Sasha into the back seat of the car, but it takes my hubby and I together and a bit of help from Sasha to get her into our compact car. It would be almost impossible if we owned a SUV. She loves to simply stare out the windows and go for a drive. She used to bound onto the back seat no problem, but we have had to adjust our outings so that she doesn't hurt herself and yet still enjoys the drive. We will stop at a park and she loves water. But as age has set in, she simply loves to walk the edge and have a few licks and sit and look out almost as if she is reflecting.
I must admit, it is a much calmer age and we are enjoying her, and we will sit and simply "be". It is like they know they are older and enjoy the little things, and I call these "senior dog moments". As you can see in the above header picture she is a happy dog, and quite content to stay close and just "putter". So we like to get her out in the car when we can. These ramps are a brilliant idea. Check out the examples from my research.
