step up
right after the last picture, of course, she fell down, limped about tragically for a few minutes, and we haven't seen her go up again since. we'll get there.
it's entirely possible that this is contributing to her performance anxiety. the cats are offended that we are teaching the dog to climb the staircase. they are in for a rude awakening when she gets good at it.

we admit, we got the new staircase mostly for the dogs. the problem is, they both hate it. flannery will go up, but doesn't like getting past the newel at the top to come down. and ripley -- ripley prefers a carpeted step. these will get carpet runners after they are stained and sealed, but for now, we thought we'd get her practicing a bit.
