I have been blocking my Matilda off from a room with carpeting for obvious reasons. For a while the 3-foot-high dog gate worked. Then last week when I came home she would greet me in the forbidden room jumping with joy. To my amazement the dog gate was still in place untouched.<div><br></div><div>So yesterday I put TWO dog gates there back-to-back. And when I came home for lunch, there she was again in the forbidden room with both gates in place.</div><div><br></div><div>Who ever heard of a BASSET HOUND jumping a 3 foot gate?!! I know that nothing can get in the way of a hound that wants something, but this takes the cake. I rather admire her strength of character.</div><div><br></div><div>Today's plan: stagger the height of the gates. If I were a gambler, I'd put my money on her.</div><div><br></div> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222984/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get it now.</a></body>
