I also allow Hefner and Chai free reign in the house now. They are not completely potty trained but I am more trained than they are and I just cannot stand them crying when they are confined anywhere. I am such a wimp. It is never more than a couple hours that they are left and the bedrooms are off limit because they are capeted. The rest of the house is tile so it's not as hard to clean.

Michelle:

As far as the doggy door, they do have the kind where the pet has to wear a collar so the door will open for them and not "varmints" or cats. It's electronic or something and activates so the lock unlocks for the animal with the collar only. Don't know how practical that is for a yorkie but they do make them.

I would worry about "birds of prey" too with that situation and make sure that wherever they go out is "covered" somehow.
