Poopie in the dining room!!??! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

vbayne · 03-28-2010, 05:23 PM

My two beautiful, adorable, loves of my life, feel the need to poop on my oriental rug in my dining room!!! The problem is there are 2 entryways into the room. One normal doorway, which I could use a baby gate to close off, but the other doorway is a double wide. Does anyone have any ideas what I could use to close off that doorway? I thought about an ex pen to go across the doorway, but would I have to attach it to the door, or does it stand by itself?

This may sound crazy, but my husband came up with the greatest idea. We bought 2 spring curtain rods and a valance. Just place one rod in the top of the valance and one in the bottom. You can buy the rods as long as you need them and a valance to match the decor. You won't have to nail or screw anything into your doors or walls.

What a clever idea!!! I bet it looks pretty cute too

could you post a picture?

There is a picture on my profile. I haven't learned how to post pictures with my comments yet.

I have them in every doorway. We love them! My hubby is so creative!

Much better than keeping all of the doors closed. Just hop right over. If you have cats and they need a breather, they can jump over and your baby can't.

It's the one that looks like a postage stamp and Twinkie is standing, looking over the gate at the cats. It should be the first one. I will try to post a picture. hehehe
