Dog Door Dangers
This has been on all our local news shows. A hungry 6 or 7 foot (depends on the channel) gator got into a Palmetto, FL house thru a dog door. They believe the gator was after the owner's cats.

It was sitting in her bathroom?
 How would you like to see that bad boy in the morning!

Good grief! Our has the door panels so they can be closed up at night. NoBuddy is allowed outside at sleep/nighttime around here That would be scary as all get out.

We closed off the kitty cat door after finding baby snakes in our bathroom (where the door was)...the killer was the 3 am chase scene in our walk in closet with the baby bunny. Not something to wake up to.

There are some new dog doors out there that the dog has to wear a collar with a electronic transmitter that once the dog is within a certain range of the door (usually 2-3 steps from it) it unlocks the door so the dog can enter and then re-locks once the dog as gone through or gone out of range. This eliminates unwanted creaters coming in.

Just one more reason I will NOT be installing a doggie door anytime soon.

no dog doors allowed here and the gators are exactly why i have NO desire to ever live in florida. Already told my husband if he ever gets stationed down there i'll be finding ways to order everything to come to me! lol. the gators are just the kicker. not fond of the other critters down there either.

My horse trainers Jack Russell dragged a Peacock through the dog door and it got loose and wreaked havoc, crashing into the chandeliers, knocking paintings and vases off walls and shelves, all at 2:00 in the morning. The neighbors called the police thinking there was a drag down fight going on in the house!
