I stand my ground here. This is what I have to do with my dog. He loves the freedom, and the joy of my dog is a priority for me. Yes, an unfortunate incident happened, but thank god he HAD a doggie door to go back inside.
Things happen. You learn from your experiences. You don't know me or my dog. You don't know how the yard is configured. You don't know how many hours I am away from my home. To continue to be an internet bully on a Yorkie forum is laughable. I really hope all your pups are treated better than you treat people on the internet. Please stop trying to be a keyboard warrior, and please do not respond to anymore of my posts. |
Hi and welcome to YT - and, congrats on your recent engagement, that's so exciting!! I wish you and your fiance a lovely, wonderful life ahead!
I'm sorry you're upset with some of these answers but please, take a deep breath and please do try to understand where these folks are coming from...they are worried and concerned for you and your dog, and they most definitely do *not* want to see your little innocent dog end up being killed. Passionate responses do not equate to what I'd call "bullying" here, I just don't see it. I see concerned and very direct responses to putting your yorkie in what is a clearly dangerous position that could
cost him his life.
If that's not cause for concern and passion on a dog forum, I'm not sure what is.
So, back to the matter at hand. You can't use the doggie door, period. It's dangerous, it's life threatening, it's simply NOT the right or safe or moral thing to do here, period.
Buy an Iris Pen at Walmart or Amazon and set it up somewhere in the house that works...he will be able to have a bed, toys, water, and pee pad in that pen....and that will have to work while you're away from home. Another option would be to fence him in a tiled bathroom or something, or the kitchen...?
Either way, the MOST important thing here is life safety *first* -- and a doggie door is simply unsafe...bc of other dogs, owls, hawks, eagles, etcetera.
