I have a dog ramp challenge for you. I jumped out of the car and I\u2019ve hurt my leg. It\u2019s my bad leg and our Mistress has been a bit worried as this car has further to jump down. She says she is going to have to be much more disciplined about using the ramp for me to get in and out. She always puts it out for me and Shadow to get in as we\u2019re not as athletic as Wilma. However, we said we were happy jumping out without it. It turns out that was a bad call on our part. We\u2019ve spent years being very careful that I don\u2019t aggravate my elbow dysplasia so now our Mistress is really cross with herself for not insisting I should use the ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m going to rest it for a few days and take some anti-inflammatories. I think if I\u2019m up to it she\u2019s going to take me swimming on Tuesday too, so I can have some gentle exercise. It just serves as a reminder that I\u2019m getting older and I\u2019m going to have to be really careful with it if I\u2019m going to avoid having to have it operated on at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, to all you really clever people out there. Here\u2019s the challenge. Our Mistress wants a ramp that is not as big and bulky as the one we have. Which weighs less but is just as strong. Not so light that it blows away on a windy day, but light enough that it\u2019s not such a faff to lug about. She says with all the clever modern materials there must be a way to make a telescopic one out of something like carbon fibre. Then of course, the challenge is to make it at a price that people can afford to buy it. If you have a solution to that dog problem then please do let us know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
