Dej, yes, it's the doggy in my Avatar, but not a poodle...a Shih tzu with a puppy cut..

He is about 10 years old and yes he does still not like the new ramp, but he knows how to go down the ramp and out the doggy door to the yard and has done it many times.. At night he is just lazy or afraid of the dark or rain or whatever..

Thanks for the suggestions all.
