It has FINALLY paid off

Nate has been wanting to get a doggie door for Chloee for quite some time now but I never really have been a fan of the idea, until recently. The last couple of months Chloee has had more accidents in the house than she has the whole year and a half that we have had her. I think that might be her way of getting attention with the new little one in the house who is taking most of our attention. Nate and I were getting so frustrated and have tired many different things to get her go outside. We knew she knew better - we had her potty trained in less than a week and whenever she did have an accident and we found it her tail would go between her legs, and she would cower away! We had had just about enough and then remembered the doggie door idea. Once I realized that Nate was going to put it in our back door instead of in our wall I was all over the idea!

When we finally got one and put it in (about 2 weeks ago) Chloee wouldn't use it! I'll take that back, she would only use it if Nate held the plastic flap up for her - what a girl! About a week ago though she finally caught on to the idea and we ALL LOVE it! She can go in and out now as she pleases whether it's to go to the bathroom, run around or just to catch a little sun and some fresh air and we don't have to let her in and out all day or clean up her messes in the house. It is a total win/win situation. Plus, the door doesn't look to bad and I haven't noticed a draft from it yet either! The kids love going in and out it too!
