As for Junior and his door training–sigh. The little kit isn’t so thrilled with this door thing.  He is going through faster, but he still waits for us to hold it open, at least partway!  When it is propped open with a close -pin, he hops in and out at will.  When it is closed, he acts like it is an imovable object.  But we’re working on it.  A few more days and I think he’ll have it.  No, really, I think he will!
