Use an electronic collar if you have pets, children, pets doors and a
pool. They door will only open as the animal approaches.

It keeps raccoons, bob cats, stray opossums and the neighbor's cats

Yeah, that thought leaps to mind, doesn't it. There are products that can
hurt kids without a parent reasonably foreseeing what might happen. But
installing a pet door (with a kid crawling around the house) and then
ignoring the kid long enough for the child to get outside and drown--that's
on the parent, not the company that failed to warn the parents to pay
attention.

Everything is on the parent with kids that age, and always has been.
Thinking anything else is a good way to start clearing your genes out

Just heard a report. Local 911 dispatchers say, the media never hears
about the majority of incidents. A few days ago a man left his
2-month old and a 2-year old boys in a car, while he drank and
gambled. The media was ALL over that! It was about 102F outside.

I can honestly say that I have never done this.

I did, however, live in a house that apparently had a pet squirrel.
Never did figure out how the little fuzzy ******* got in there. It

Maybe it had a squirrel door.

appeared shortly before I moved out and it fought the landlord for a
