I had a very large kitchen, bought a 3 foot high baby gate and that's where the monsters were kept. They were about 6 months old, I'm at work, 11AM my landlady calls me, Joan, the dogs are running rampant through the house, I say impossible, they are gated in the kitchen, Joan, I am telling you, they are running rampant through the house. I fly out of my office repeating what the landlady said saying I gotta get home before they kill themselves. I worked 15 minutes away, I open the door and there they are in the living room with this look, ohoh now we're gonna get it lol, just to cute to scold. I couldn't believe they CLIMBED over the baby gate, lil stinkers. That night I got another baby gate, a wooden one that adjusted the the width of the doorway. NOW there is a 6 foot high gated off area lol, no more escapes lol and me flying out of my office like a lunatic lol.
