Oh my, don't think of it like that! You were just trying to be helpful and suggest what worked for you. I guess I sounded a bit officious in my post now that I read it and shouldn't have!!! I could have said it better. You are new to the forum and just like I was when I joined. I've learned so much here about how to be a better steward to my dog that it's not funny. Thought I knew a good bit about dogs until I became a member here and soon all these ladies and gents with years of Yorkie and small dog experience and knowledge soon began to fill me up with more and more knowledge and insight into the special needs of Yorkies and toy dogs and I've so much more to learn. Many have used Doggie Doors successfully for years but now that we know the predators are losing their natural habitats as civilization slowly takes over more and more of their territory, they are coming into our neighborhoods and things like that just to try to get their necessary food for themselves and their pups and predator birds are doing the same. It's a sad state of affairs when you've a little guy outside alone and a coyote comes walking down the alley and is over the fence before you know it.
I live in a subdivision not out in the wilds or country or anything and our city warned us a couple of years ago that we had had coyote sightings after dark with history of pets being at risk and realized then how scary it would be if my Tibbe could go outside just anytime he wanted through a doggie door. So on YT we share information so each of us will be better informed and know more about how to better care for our little ones!
BTW, welcome to Yorkie Talk!!!
