Twice now, Binsey has managed to pull down the puppy gate and roam around the house while we were gone about an hour or less. Somehow she hasn't made any messes while we've been away (probably unintended on her part), so we're happy about that, but we're starting to wonder how we're going to contain her. So far, we decided to put her in her crate while we're out, rather than in the bathroom with the puppy gate, but this morning while we were trying to eat breakfast, she was whining and whining. We tried ignoring her, and telling her to be quiet, and here's the result:
Yes - she JUMPED OVER THE GATE!! How the heck does a seven pound, 9 week old puppy jump over a gate twice her size?? Either we're going to have to invest in a taller gate, or let her hang out with us in the house more, watching her every second - not so convenient when you're trying to read your homework!
If anyone's got suggestions, let us know!
