Do you have a tape of it, Bob? I can send you one, or put it on a CD.

I went out with my trusty drill and jigsaw today (first two tools I bought for myself as a divorced woman living in a new apartment nine years ago) and cut a hole in the side door of the garage and installed a new dog door. The pooches have huddled in their garage stall inside their hay-filled dog houses with the side door open a few inches for the past two winters. I planned to get an outer storm door to install the dog flap, but never did get the custom storm door ordered, so I finally said f**k it, the dogs need to be more comfortable. I put the new dog door in the wooden door itself in under an hour, even caulked it.

It took the pit bull about two trips through to figure it out; the catahoula is still a bit timid (she has to push that plastic flap with her face--what a concept! She tends to draft behind the pit, staying really close and letting Cinnamon push the thing open for her.) They're toasty warm as we go several degrees below freezing tonight. Not like Mary's snow or Little Hawk's roof problems, but cold enough to be uncomfortable and life threatening if not taken seriously.
