B's don't like rain but even in Holland there is always a dry spell to walk them.
When it's cold, they wear coats, if it is wamere and it rains, the wear raincoats.
It works fine!
Enjoy!
Baby Gates I don't use them
-
I do have one that blocks the hallway to the spare bedrooms (the master bed and a room she has access to is on another side of the house), my parents stay with us in the winter and they are notorious to leave stuff lying around such as sunglasses, purses, shoes, etc the more expensive they are the more Mia thinks they are delicious, she has expensive taste lol. So I found it easier to use the gate to protect those rooms than to make sure they pick up after themselves lol.
-
we had one when we only had rocky.. and it blocked the steps going upstairs because the couple that lives with us has the two upstairs bedrooms (we have the 2 bedrooms downstairs to ourselves) but when we got the puppy we got an additional one that would block off the kitchen and the living room. It is propped open all day. I close it at night so i know that they aren't in the living room pottying or tearing things up. when we first got Mia she was so tiny she squeezed through the bars.. thank goodness shes fattened up ! lol

We have had success with baby gates. I was shocked that Dash didn't try to jump it. Until I walked over it. He cleared it in a second and was right by my side. I kind of stopped and was surprised but he looked so cute and just kind of looked at me like.."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…"

hahahahahahhaa:D

lmao Dash that was hilarious! and it's totally what they are thinking lol

My brother used to use the typical lattice style at his house but the first time I brought EL D over he cleared it in a single hop! I use one for the guest bedroom but it has plexicglass instead of wood or plastic.
-
thats the kind we have.. a white and a black. they are extra tall so its hard for them to jump.

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…...

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!

We have several gates throughout the house.....our house has that Alcatraz feel.:eek:

….our house has that Alcatraz feel.:eek:
HaHaHa! Mine too…the accordian one in the kitchen, the two swinging ones at the top & bottom of the stairs nevermind the woodstove gate, the front porch & gate, the deck railings and gate. Ay yi yi! I must have liked my crib...;) :rolleyes:

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 dont use baby gates but i dont have a problem wih kip he just curles up nicely in his basket until he occasionally wants to play at 3:00am!

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.
