Watching American Idol ?

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
out of the feed bowl.

That's not failsafe either. It won't take the kid that long to
realize he can follow the dog out.

Video on ABC to night of burglars getting in through the doggy door.
Robbed the house 3 times until they set up a camera.

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
of the pool.

If a parent leaves the regular door open a little and
the little tyke opens the door and crawls/toddles out,
is the door manufacturer and/or carpenter going to be
responsible?

Thats certainly the rational common sense view. However there are many

The trouble with halfwit parents is that they have dimwit kids, and they are
extremely fertile.

If I had a pool, I'd teach my kid to swim when he was 3 months old.

uh-oh!

When some friends moved into a new house, I installed a cat door so
their cat could go down into the basement but the dog couldn't.

The baby is due in July.

I'd better make sure my umbrella policy is up to date.

I wonder if I can convince my local supermarket to install some
pet doors? Jeez, what a hellish amount of noise tonight.
