He did it!  Yesterday morning we used the pet door to play Junior’s favorite game:  Door.  I made noise on one side, and he poked his foot through to “get” me.   He had to get his face pretty close to the door–and it forced him to discover that his paw could swing the door open!

After that, the next time he was outside, he just popped his foot through and then his head and lo!  He was in.  After that, it was as if he had used a door his whole life.  In and out like nobody’s business.

Whew.  We’re pretty happy and from the looks of the way Junior heads out to play in the flowers, so is he!
