    Maybe traction boards?
    I don't have any, but they might work and you could roof rack them

    I don't have any experience with this one but it the only decent "portable" one I could find doing a search, non slip texture, says good for up to 198lbs. and it folds up and has carrying handles.

    For a little more money they have the same one but with "non slip grass surface".

    Looks just like the weathertech option. Think i first need to do the math on the height vs slope, no good if it's to steep.

    While i like the duel functionality, i don't think they would be long enough and the surface texture may be to aggressive for puppy feet.

    Got rid of the pups Giardia. Now microchip, spayed, and pull upper canines they have doubles. Its like $650. each. Just weighed them 5/11 and 5/12 at 9 months, so they look big growing out their fur and all. but actually lost weight.

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 36 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 36yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    Same here,
    I weigh Riley(far right) on the 1st every month(born Sept 1st 2024). @12 months she came in at 67#. Every month since, everyone including myself thought for sure she had hit at least 70# as she became noticeable larger. Now at 16mo she has stayed at 67# for 4 months straight despite getting taller and longer. She is self regulating on dog food, I just keep her bowl full and she downs 10# of food every 7-10 days…I could use conveyer belt to keep her bowl loaded. Pretty much a 40# bag every month…..she’s a VERY busy girl, her toenails are worn back to the toes. I have yet to have to trim them……BTW….old retired people shouldn’t have hyper puppies.
    Photo: daily 2-3mile sage/jack rabbit chase morning walk at treat/leash up time with Riley’s 12yr old Lab ‘sister’, Trixie and neighbor’s two Setter boyfriends, Ben(5) and Oakley(3), half brothers.

    Yes, look on Amazon. My 120lb. GSD passed but I still have his ramp. Are you in San Diego by chance? Needs a new surface covering but otherwise good.

    Last storms dropped a decent amount of snow (for us) down here in Southern California. Took the dogs to enjoy some of it. Mt Laguna- San Diego County

    Lucky dogs! Horsehaven Meadows? Is the road in the photo off of Sunrise Hwy. by the Market? I used to spend time up in the Lagunas with my Cross Country buddies (50+ years ago) We had Hickory Skiis with pin bindings that
    you'd have to seal and wax yourselves. Wax was applied in different layers anticipating what kind of snow you might come across. I had those skiis until just a few years ago. Some guy with a cabin in Big Bear bought them to hang
    over his rock fireplace. Never did get the photo he promised me!

    They definitely loved the snow. This was Thing Valley Road off Sunrise Hwy. There was a building a bit farther up where people were parked playing in the snow. I'm not sure what it was but google maps labels it Red Tail Roost Forest Service.

    I wish I would have bought a sled/ skis and had the dogs pull me.

    They just got well from a water borne sickness and then you let them play with a toy from the lake!!!

    Also they sure look different in this last photo, almost animated!!

    They sure do like going outside. Like five minutes after I just took them for a walk. Cant wait to show them a fish! Mercedes did not like fishing she stayed away from the lake. FiFi (my first yorkie) loved fishing and Daisy reminds me of her. I tried crappie are not up to the shore yet maybe another week.IMG_2261.jpg

    That's a "not today" look. For well over a decade this red monster and her deceased inseperable pal Boom blasted out when the hatch opened. Father Time slows all down.
