Default A bit of excitement

Well, yesterday there was a deer in our backyard and very quickly Queenie
burst through the screen door and was off after her. Of course they ran
across the road, but luckily there were no cars. I called and called
Queenie but to no avail. I came inside to quickly change clothes and put on
shoes, and when I went back out the door, she came tearing back up to the
house and ran in the door.

I'm glad she wasn't hurt and felt really good that she came back so
quickly. I thought she might take the opportunity to go on the lam. I think
this showed that she's pretty strongly bonded to us, and I feel good about
that.

yikes! that must've gotten your heart racing. elliott's gone walk
about a couple of times, and it scared the hell out of me. in his case,
i don't think he was chasing anything in particular. he just decided to
go exploring.

It was really scary. It was just pure luck that she wasn't hurt out there.

So, does anyone know of any dog-proof screen doors? My house is basically a
gazebo with slightly more structure -- I have 2 sliding doors and french
doors in the living room, and one slider in the den -- I really like having
them all open when the weather is fine. However, for the time being,
they're staying closed!

Its great that she came right home after she lost the deer!! We got the
screen doors with the screen at the top due to fear of this scenario with
all the moose across the street in the park.

You might be able to use the aluminum add-ons. I got mine at the hardware
store. There's apparently also a plexiglass option, but that seems a bit
slime-able to me.

I'm glad you and yours are safe after such a scare.

LOL - it is! I've never tried one of these. I did have a screen
"grill" over a door many years ago, and it was quite effective.

I have had to replace my screen door in this house once. Husband
arrived home from work, dog was excited to see him and forgot all
about a close screen door, and flew right through. Oops. She loved
her people and couldn't wait to get to them.

Thanks. I may try that. I was thinking I would just need to buy a new
screen door.
