The dog has gotten increasingly adept at opening the gate at the kitchen. At first yoiu didn’t have to latch it, just close it. Then you had to latch it. THen the dog ate the pin that links the lift to the latch, and latching it made little difference.<\/p>\n
Now the dog knows to lift the arm and pull back the latch with his paw. So I drilled a couple holes in the arm and put on a bungee cord. Then he learned to chew off the bungee cord. <\/p>\n
All in order for him to make his way into the magical, mystical, forbidden kitchen. <\/p>\n
Where no food is stored in lower cabinets anyway, and the best he can do is graze the floor for accidentally dropped Crunch Berries. <\/p>\n
See, we used to have the gate up predominantly to keep the cat from trying to eat the dog. Cooney loved to annoy Max, right up to the end. <\/p>\n
Guess it keeps him from getting bored while we’re at work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
