Graidy went to visit friends the other day and had a great ol’ time! Actually, this is just a Graidy look-alike. When a friend sent this photo, I had to do a double-take.

When I was asked to try out these Puppy Treads, made by Handi-Ramp in exchange for an honest review, I jumped at the chance!
You see, I immediately saw these non-slip, self-adhering, clear vinyl strips as having the potential to solve multiple problems for dog owners with wood floors. (More on this in a moment.)
