My good friend April..when we were stationed in PA together...had this problem with her 3 dashunds all the time.
Our quarters housing that we all lived in there had long vertical windows and a picture window in front. April would leave the far rt. mini blind up for them....And that helped.
But...then they would jump on the couch and start midway in the blinds...Our living rooms were tiny there and that was the ONLY couch option...
So..she replaced them many times....
Having 3 made it sooo funny....we would just go by her house out front and anyone could see the funniest 3 heads up in the window...lol I still smile when I think of them...
