I love them. Totally changes your dog owning experience. Best part of a dog door was that Eli puppy was potty trained by the bigger bassets. He had two only accidents in the house and both can be attributed to the UTI he had. Down side is like Miss Angela, Eli too enjoys bringing in baby birds for play dates.<br>
<br>That being said, when we moved into our new house there was no dog door and no real obvious place to put one. We eventually decided to put it in the basement wall, under a covered deck. We have installed it only recently. This meant for about 6 months the dogs enjoyed having a door person and do not really want to give up that luxury. They use their dog door quite a bit but when feeling overly tired from a romp in the back yard, the will park by the back door looking to get in. Hannah will get tired of waiting and walk down to the dog door. Eli will not. He gets let in with an exasperated "You have your own door, why don't you use it?" Why, indeed silly human.<br>
<br>As for Bev's story- anyone stupid enough to crawl through a large dog door deserves what they find on the other side.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jennifer<br>Jacksonville, AL<br>~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>Abby, Eli and Hannah (Eyson and Lucy ATB)<br>
Ahhrooo y'all<br>~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>They had buried him under our elm tree, they said — yet this wasn't totally true. For he really lay buried in my heart.<br><br>Willie Morris,<br>My Dog Skip <br>
