[matese]

My beautiful Matese was a worker lol. When we moved to Pa. she had to be confined to my large kitchen. I have an open room plan, living room to kitchen which I had a 4 foot high wall installed and a latch gate at the entrance to the kitchen. Matese was the kinda gal that if she was blocked from an area she wanted to be in, it was like her job to find a way to get in that room.

My dining chairs are quite heavy, Matese was a big girl weighing in at 17 lbs of beautiful sleekness, she'd grab hold of one of the chairs that was pushed under the table, pull it out with her teeth until she got it out far enough to jump on the chair, then on the table and jumped over the wall into the living room lol. I bought clothes line rope to tie around the table and chairs so the chairs could not be moved. She chewed the rope and got that chair out and back in the living she was.
I took out all but one chair and chained that to two table legs, that worked.
Talk about working yorkies lol.

I retired soon after that, then she had free roam of the house.

I miss that girl so much, my mischievous Matese.
