Doggy Drama

I really love my dogs Max and Jack, but I am TWO SECONDS from putting them on KSL.

I have done everything short of putting a catheter in them to get them to go potty outside.

I have to say...they are MUCH better than they used to be.

I am just SOOOO thankful Robb owns a carpet cleaning business...otherwise our doggies would have been LONG GONE a LONG time ago.

Yesterday I had John Bankhead (awesome guy...even more awesome handyman) install a doggy door in the middle of my kitchen. The picture at the beginning of this post is NOT my doggy door, but it looks very similar. However, my doggy door is in my wall, and poor John had to cut through my BRICK to install it.

But...it is beautiful and John did a TREMENDOUS job.

But guess what??? THEY WON'T FREAKING USE IT!

I'm not kidding. We were doing all we could to get them through it last night, but they acted like I was leading them to some uncertain death.

My kids think it's awesome. All of them (except Kaid) tried to weasel their way through it, but the dogs? Not so much.

Anybody have any suggestions? I really am at my wit's end.

And if your post is something like, "This is exactly why I don't have dogs," then don't bother posting because as you can see, I'm past that point.

Thank you kindly.
