I bought some wrought iron gates to keep my poodle and chiwinnie in the kitchen,which has ceramic tile on the floor, and out of the living room while I am at work. I had no problem keeping them in the kitchen. Then I bought the same type of gate to keep them out of my bedroom. The poodle, Little Brother, did not like that. Two days ago, I awoke to find him under my bed. I just thought I had forgotten to lock the gate. The next night,I made sure to lock the gate but he got into my room anyway.Last night I took a piece of rope and wrapped it around the latch, but he chewed the rope up and unlocked the gate. I was mad at him but could not help laughing and admiring his intelligence and determination to get into my room and sleeping under the bed. I guess I will have to figure out another way to keep him from moving the latch and gettting into my room. I just thought I would share because it was funny and he is a smart dog.
