up the dumb staircase

When I built a loft last year, I built it with a staircase for my dog. Yesterday, we built a loft for the last remaining "floor bed" in my house. This morning, Dean was wandering around the house like a groundling looking at all of the tree people, asleep and out of reach. He tried climbing up the stairs and ended up stumbling a bit and then he just stopped trying and started whining. I had to jump off my loft, go around and pick him up and set him on the ground. Then I had to build a better staircase.

My new staircase has bigger steps, less of an incline and barely any room between steps. It's practically a ramp. Now he can run up and down them and he can be a tree person too.
