at least when it comes to my dogs. I got a great screen thingy where I can leave the door open for them to go in and out. They love going in and out on the days I work from home. Zoe zoomed through it the very first time. Zena after about 2 times of showing her through myself. The boys....well let's just say they are still wondering if it's going to attack them. Must be the male gene in wanting to figure out how things work and are made. Anyway, here is what I got and I highly recommend it if you love keeping your door open and the bugs out.

That's really cool, sandy.. if i had a fence, i'd try that.

Once, in early spring, i'd leave the patio doors open so tuck could go in and out as he pleased.. but all he'd do is run out, grab a stick, drag it back in and chew it in the family room. Drove me batty.

I had to put a stop to that.. dragging everything outside, in.

that looks really cool! inexpensive, too. I like to keep the door open for the dogs but hate the flies.

I've had those for about five years now. Luke and Jake have no problem going out them

I don't think smart is a word I've ever used in the same sentence with either Jake or Luke LOL

I think that screen looks awesome!

I ordered one last week for our RV. May have to get one for the house now that the baby is almost here!

Sandy - do you know if these 'screens' work on a propped open, traditional, exterior doorway? Or is it just for sliders/patio doors? I can't seem to tell from the website.

And yes, girls are much smarter then boys. In both the canine and human worlds.

Anne, you can get them for sliders, but I have two of them for regular exterior doors.

Neat idea! We have a doggie door from the screen porch door to the backyard. The problem is you have to let Jazzy and the Beags out the back door from the kitchen onto the porch first. Somedays I feel like all I do is act as their personal doorman! This sounds like a winning solution.

Yep; or letting flies in if I left it open!!

Anne, yes I have the two door scenario you are talking about with my storm door propped open. Works fine, the screen hangs in the center of them. I'll try to get a pic later.

Oooh..I like that netting! We have a doggie door so the girls can go in and out as they please, but I want the netting to keep flies out when we're out on the patio and have the sliding doors open.

FYI....We got our first pair off of that website. When we moved out-of-state, we threw them out. We moved back to Florida we saw them at Lowes and bought them there.

Here ya go, Anne. Yogi-Princess has to go out on the side rather than through the middle; they prefer that way.

and from the outside looking in:

and just for you, the Yogi-Princess getting caught digging for a mole after I yelled, "get out of there". LOL

 

[kelli]
