Doggie Doors

I am not a Doggie Door Doggie.  Someone please tell my Mom to stop trying to get me to be one!

Have you seen a Doggie Door?  Do you know what they are like?  Here is ours.

It's a dark tiny hole with a flap that I have to push with my nose.  WITH MY NOSE!  How unGentile.  I'm much too polite a dog to be pushing into anything where I haven't been invited.  I mean really.  When Mom and Dad go into the closet, I sometimes go with them, but if they don't hold the door open for me, I'm not going to bust my way out.  How uncouth would that be?  I would rather just sit quietly until one of them comes to rescue me.  (Which happens on more occasions than I like to think about.)

But I AM NOT going to push that door open.  Its just not polite.

So here I am, a very nice, polite puppy and Mom wants me to push that flappy thing of a doggie door cover to get to the outside.  You wouldn't believe the lengths she goes to get me to do it.  First, she taped open the door and left me outside.  She even put treats on the inside to trick me into coming in.  I wasn't fooled.  I think she thought I would get lonely and come in. 

I went looking for Bunny Rabbit instead.  I don't need Mom to keep me company.  I can find friends out here if I have to. 

She finally gave up on that idea and let me in.  But then, she taped the door in the other direction and put a bowl of treats on the outside.  She even tried to push me out, but I wouldn't go.

 

Once, she even invited another puppy dog over to show me how to go about it.  I KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT!  I just don't want to do it.  So I just sat down and waited till she took the treats back in.

 



 

Maybe there is a way for me to get over my being finicky about pushing doors open, but I don't know what it is.  And obviously, Mom doesn't know either. 

 

If any of you has any ideas for me, I would sure appreciate hearing it.  And I'll let you know if it works in a later blog.  Just tell me what you think I could try in a Comment below. 

 

Thanks so much,
