We were looking for something similar not too long ago for our collie and decided to muddle on lifting him up and down the stairs outside the house and in and out the car , however he has deteriorated last few weeks and is in pain ,so decided to say goodbye to him today before he suffers any more, sobbing again writing this, it was difficult decision but vet said we were making the correct call.Evening all.
Feel a bit of a tit here asking for advice on this but here it goes;
Our staffy is proper old now and is at the point he can’t jump in the back of the van or car on his own.I just lift him in and out no Botha but our lass takes him out and can’t lift him as he’s too heavy.
He’s 14 going on 15 but still got to go out at least 2 a day,he gets took to a field or waste land for him to wander about.
What I’m looking for is something that can go in the boot and just pull out so he can walk up and down it.It needs to be operational with one hand as I imagine our lass will have hold of him on the lead with the other hand.
Seen them online but want to know if anyone else has one?Crap ya dog getting really old like.
Ne pissing about on this thread taking the piss as it’s serious.

He was 14 , so start preparing yourself for a decision to make in the not too distant future
Best dog ever him. Softest thing I’ve ever met15.5 stone, f***ing hell man. Nee need.![]()
Best dog ever him. Softest thing I’ve ever met
There is.
They all look cumbersome and steep as owt.
Hoping someone would have some experience of one.
And he probably looks at you as if you're as thick as mince for not knowing what he wantsWe got one for our old Border and he just looked at the ramp then us like we were thick as shit
He now just whines constantly (when he is awake) and expects our dog minding reading skills to be employed to know if he needs food/ a shit/ stroking/ lifting up![]()

Unrelated to ramps but my former colleague had a leonberger. Must have been tipping in around 15st like Rosss dog. She weighed about 45kg wet through. Came in one day covered in cuts and bruises. Asked her what happened and the dog had taken off after a rabbit with the leash wrapped around her wrist. Straight down and embankment, across a field and only came to a hlat when she got wedged in a hedge rowMet one on a walk once and the owner assured me very friendly.
I was giving him a right old scratch around his neck, owner in pieces, as I was trying to make sure he wasn’t going to topple over as he was learning against me.
Lovely dog![]()
I was reading something yesterday and the author said something like 95% of dogs don’t really have an attack in them, in terms of attacking humans. The 95% can give an audible and visual deterrent but unless a dog goes loco through bad treatment, basically the vast majority would step back if you ran at them. As scary as that would be with some dogs. Basically my point is that the big softie cliche is by and large true and even the ones that get attack abilities trained into them will often do nowt if the handler says nowt.
There’s summit to it like. Nanny dogs and all that, English mastiffs are great around kids. Mind, we have a border terrier atm who is just shy of 1 year old and he’s fantastic round my two, if we’re playing about with a toy and he’s going a bit hyper, he’ll change and settle right down when the kids want to get involved. Love dogs, me.I was reading something yesterday and the author said something like 95% of dogs don’t really have an attack in them, in terms of attacking humans.

I love threads like this for all the little stories, dogs are just brilliant. I've got a Collie and he loves his bits of routine. He is there waiting outside my bedroom door on a morning for his walk, lies by my side when I'm back and having breakfast but when he sees me getting ready for work he goes upstairs to lie on a beanbag next to my daughter working in her room. He goes crazy when my son comes in from school, is really excited and a bit less daft when I come in. Has to have a bit of a play session after tea. Later on the evening we just say "Stories" and he runs up stairs to lie by the bed while I do a bed time story with my son, gets excited to be let in the garden just before bed time because he gets a biscuit when he comes in, then bed down and start again. He is always really close to one of us.There’s summit to it like. Nanny dogs and all that, English mastiffs are great around kids.

There are some great dogs I know on the field who know me and come over to say hello, all with their own personalities but generally daft and happy. My sister has had some great dogs and always been good to see them. It is hard to imagine a world without dogs in my life, even it is just a quick hello to a dog you are passing or happens to be in the pub.
