Truffle Learns Doggie Door

For Christmas we got a doggie door, which has changed our lives dramatically. And Truffle's life too for that matter. Life before doggie door consisted of getting out of bed at least once a night to let Truffle out to do her business. We know it was Truffle's intent in doing this to prepare us for parenthood. We also had to keep an eye on the clock any time we were out of the house so we could get back in time to let her outside.

Now, all we have to worry about is finding a pacifier, laundry or hoarded papers out in the backyard! Annie and Walker helped train her to come through the door. It took her a few days to understand that she can not only go out but she can come in too. This video was taken about mid December....a few days before Rémy was born.

now i would have assumed you wouldn't want a doggie door because of the energy loss/waste through the doggie door. i guess i was wrong ;-)

It SAVES electricity...keeping us from turning on all the lights in the middle of the night trying to fumble our way to the back door to let her out.

Not really. Sanity and sleep outweighed being green in this case.
