While Mom and Dad were here, Dad put in a screen door for me. It's the last big project I have wanted to do to my little place. Every time I let a cat in or out, I would let a few flies in. There seem to be quite a few hanging about this area. They make me feel like white trash when they swarm around my house. It makes me want to wash everything down with acid or bleach or something that screams 'disinfected!!!' I know it won't get rid of the flies, be cause dirt isn't the problem. However, the association with flies and poor sanitation is impossible for me to shake.

Pug was very excited about the visit of two strangers already, but watching Dad put in the door was extra exciting for him. Dad and I put a small wood bar across the bottom to make it possible for me to cut a cat door in the screening. This has practically solved my fly problem. I was wondering how to get Pug used to the new little cat door. My solution was to simply reach through it and pull him into the house. It worked quite well after he got over the shock of the whole experience. He has used the door with no issues (except for bad aim, which is hilarious to watch!) and it's been a great addition to my little place. Thanks Dad!
