| help, looking for pet gate. don't buy this one! okay, so I bought one of those soft pet gates, it secures at the top and at the bottom but is a soft material throughout. http://www.collectionsetc.com/Item76114.aspx What a pain in the a@#$ I wanted one that doesn't mount to the wall but this one doesn't have a spring or anything with pressure so it's VERY difficult to make it stick to the wall and for it to be secure. Took forever in the morning. Then I discoverd that Simba can squeeze throught the sides so that defeats the whole purpose of it. It wasn't expensive but like I said, a waste of money. So I am looking for a pet gate that doesn't need mounting and that has some kind of pressure to it so that I just need to squeeze it and release it to fit the space. Any suggestions? Thanks, Anita |

| opening gate or a short gate needed My Yorkie Biggie Smalls is tiny; 2lbs. 5 ozs. He also has a sister Chihuahua who is 4 lbs. I currently have 4 baby gates from walmart, which I like because they are only $10/ea and I need quite a few. I need either a shorter gate (maybe 14"-18") so we can better step over them repeatedly without taking them down all the time. Or... I saw a wood gate in the "skymall" on a flight some time ago that showed a gate that you install in the doorway, and then you can actually open a 'door' in the gate (which spans most of the doorway and has a latch of some sort on top to open/close it) without removing it from the doorway. Please let me know if you have any suck referals or suggestions. |

| AngeliFlad, I didn't mention, but the Walmart baby gate at our stores (I've seen them at multiple Walmarts in the same place) are in front of the baby/infant section, in the middle of the isle in a big box. They are fairly simple to take down/put up and like I said, $$10 isn't bad Good Luck. |
