<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>Thought about a dog door...up-1 out-1 in-down, up
again-1 out-still out-down again, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>up again-1 in-2 out-1 in, 2 still out, down,- in,
all three finally in. Take a nap, wake up 20 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>minutes later- get up 1 out, 1 back
in, go in living room- howls starts- 3 out and don't want</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>to come in, lay down, pitiful howls and
scratching at the door- get up- all 3 in to take a nap.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>I give up on nap.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>With Tucker (ATB) there was no ignoring him
when he wanted outside or you paid the price.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>He would start chewing his way out through the
drywall. Forget the patching...Perfect spot</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>for X-tra Large dog door. Problem
solved....except for Fab Freddie. Freddie goes in and out </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>of the dog door fine during the day but at night
he will go out (the porch light has to be on) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>but sit and howl </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>at the door when he wants back in. Not too much trouble
except when I open </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>the door and </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>he
then decides he is going through the dog door 2 ft away. Many times I have
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>tried </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>to coax
him in through his door but he won't have it, so I just stand there,
s</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>hake my </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>head
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>and smile. </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>For a boy who spent most of his life out in a yard with no shelter
it sure </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>didn't take </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>him long to decide </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>that inside is soooo much better. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon> </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>Bev...go
for the dog door. I have had one over 4 yrs now and the only live
critter I have ever </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>had come in </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>was
a member of the Rat-Tailaban that Nikko kitty brought in to teach Sebastian
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>and Sachi how to hunt. </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>Kitties loved it...I just about fainted as I hopped around on one
foot </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>t</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>rying to figure
out how to get it out from </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>under the
couch. I was trying to lean over the couch</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon> to use my grabbers to force it out but just
kept visualizing the D&mn thing jumping up and biting</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>the end of my nose off. </FONT></DIV>
