Re: Dog-proofing cages

I got some VERRRYYYY exciting news last night - well, more of a proposal!!!! (maybe my babies didn't die in vain)

Texas Rustlers has asked me to put together a one page brochure to help new piggy owners know about the dangers of dogs and guinea pigs if not properly supervised and protected. I'm going to take many of the suggestions here and apply them. It will be posted to their website and given to each of their adopters as well.

Thank you for your help!


Niki

Re: Dog-proofing cages

Niki... Because of what happened to you and your babies, Scott and I are now so much *more* careful about making certain that the baby gate is smugly closed tight when we are away, to keep the dogs out of our bedroom, where our boy's cage is located.

Even though we have highly trained service dogs... one NEVER knows.

Hurray for the Texas Rustlers... they have a wonderful, knowledgeable person working with them. Congratulations Niki.

Re: Dog-proofing cages

Thanks for all of your support! Of course, I will share the finished product. It may take a while, because I am soooooo swamped right now in taxes - ugh!

Debbie, I am glad to hear that! I can understand what you mean. My dogs are so well-behaved when supervised, that I just didn't realize how things could turn out as tragically when they did with a prey-driven dog and guinea pigs in a "safe" environment.

I have some extra, super exciting news! This morning, I signed on for a much larger townhome in my complex. We're moving from 750 square feet to 1,000 square feet. The guinea pigs will have their own room, as will the dogs! YAY! I'm going to be moving June 16th. WOOO HOOO!!!!! I must be insane to be getting a larger apartment for my pets.
