Rambo and the Dog Door

Rainbow took a long time to warm up to the dog door. Until about a month ago she would stand next to it and wait for her human companion to open it for her. But once she decided that her little self could do it--stand back!

For a couple weeks she was satisfied to be the first one through as the Cardi troupe made their way to the great outside. But now she bulls her way through and spins around so she is directly facing the swinging door. As soon as one of the other dogs pushes at it, she snipes at their noses. Now none of my Cardis are much for that behavior so they retreat and whine.

Picture it, 17 lb Rambo is keeping Shaker (41lbs), Ruff Ruff (36lbs), Music (25lbs), and Ella (25lbs) completely trapped inside the house by sniping and head butting them if they try to make their way outside.

Now I am trying to convince them that if they just ignore her she will grow bored of the game, but oh no this cast of clowns engage her every time. Sigh!

Oh yes, some of our crew love that game, too...wait at the top of the stairs and ambush the "unsuspecting" 4 legger coming up. They could play that game all day! LOL
