I have been baby gating the puppies in the kitchen when I have been leaving the house but I guess their days of that are over. Today when I came home I got to the door to hear them barking and it sounded farther away then right on the otherside of the door where they should have been in the kitchen. I open the door to find both of them on the other side of the gate looking over it and wagging their tails. They had climbed over the gate and were quite happy running free in the house except for their inability to get back into the kitchen. It was the cutest thing. Needless to say for their own safety it looks like the crate is the only option for them now. They will probably be kicking themselves for ruining such a good thing like a whole kitchen to play in. :lol-sign:
