 We had that problem, too!
This post actually reminded me of a very funny moment we had a couple of months back. We have a gate in our laundry room and we left for a short time leaving our 3 month old / whopping 2 pound (at the time) Hazel to have the run of the room (her crate and pee pad is in there too...)
Anyhow, when we came back home I freaked out because I found poo in the hallway. I immediately checked on Hazel to find her laying quietly in her crate, in the laundry room, with the baby gate secure. I'm freaking out trying to figure out how the heck we have poo in the hallway, but Hazel had no way out.
We quickly learned that she was "squeezing" her way through the SIDE and of the gate (between the wall and the hinges) and then returning to "her room". LOL The whole family laughs at me now because of the paranoia I had that day... She is now double her size and can no longer get out (we think...hope!!) We continue to stuff towels along the bottom and up the sides fearing she will get stuck and/or hurt. That worked to keep her in. Funny though. They can flatten their little bodies out in an amazing way! She does try to jump it but right now can only jump straight up. She hasn't tried to jump on furniture yet and won't attempt the stairs either. She just jumps at the gate like a little jumping bean! They are too funny! |
