They mentioned that to us as well, helping with a towel. We have 4 steps down from our doorway to the back yard, but the steps are big, like 2 feet each so she was able to get all 4 legs onto each step before going to the next one. We didn't need to help her as she managed just fine, but I think if the steps were smaller, like stairs to your basement, I would have had to carry her up and down them every time.
I will say, she can't squat like she used to be able to either, it makes cleaning up droppings a pain, she has to almost walk as she goes, so instead of piles, they are long trails! Lol
