After his tidbits were removed, he went on to live in a multiple B home without incident.

In China they call it having their peaches picked. The last time I arranged this procedure for someone several years ago the vet had the woman hold the dog on her lap while he did the procedure!! Good thing it was a small dog…...

but mom, someone is at the door, I can't let you go alone, it could be a bad person or a giant piece of cheese…"

HAHAHAHAHA. Okay my coworker just looked at me like I am crazy because I was laughing out loud :p Too funny!

We dont' have any baby gates for Dallas but we live in an apartment where the bedroom doors remain shut & the rest is so open that there is no where a baby gate could even go if we wanted one!

I have one of the Hardwood Containment Gates, looks nice…....one of our B's figured out how to open it and now we have to tie something around the latch to keep it latched. We have several gates throughout the house.....our house has that Alcatraz feel.:eek:

We have 1 gate with vertical bars and a step mechanisim to open it. For some reason there is this one patch of carpet that Giz wants to crap on and we just keep him separated from that part of the hallway. He knows how to open the gate, but he isn't heavy enough to actually make the mechanisim work. I'm expecting to come in one day and see him telling the terrier girl to sit on the foot pedal, but he hasn't thought of that yet. I don't mention it out loud, either.

I use a baby gate in the hallway to seperate the bedrooms/bathrooms from the rest of the house. The 16yr old cat lives in the bedrooms. My B's have the rest of the house. I had to experiment with gates though. The lattice kind my B girl used like a ladder. Stuck her little paws in the openings and climbed. I now have a vertical slat installed to the wall. I had to have extra pieces attahced to the bottom b/c she would wiggle her shoulders under and then stand up popping the hindges from the wall.
