I block the steps with 3 grids (metal squares zip tied together) - it allows the cats to still have access up and down - but deters Timmy (my schnoodle) from following me up the steps every single time I go up - even if it's for a minute. BUT NOW...The Mighty Charlotte - 3 pounds of mighty chi - hops over those grids (which are taller than her) to the landing - then up 13 steps to mama ....AMAZING LITTLE DOG! Charlotte Rose - Mightier than the Schnoodle....(he looks at her like 'ooooh you shouldn't have done that')....
When she arrives at the top - I say 'something I can help you with Miss Charlotte '? Her tail wagging so fast it might just fly off - she so proud of herself and so happy to see her mama (you know - coz I've been upstairs for...maybe 25 seconds)... (and no ....she doesn't have separation anxiety at all...just when I'm home - I must be in her one eyed site) Lynda
