We've reached the end of an era in our household. We can no longer keep Pixel confined to the living room. Today at lunch Larry was doing dishes, and I exclaimed (ever so intelligently), "Dog over the fence!" Pixel came bounding into the room by climbing OVER the baby gate. She climbed. Over the gate. Gone are our days of eating lunch in peace. What did we do as responsible doggie parents? We put her back in the living room and coaxed her to climb the gate again. Then we applauded when she made it. Oh well, she was going to do it had we encouraged her or not.
