Good morning friends.  Hope this day finds you all well.   I did something really stupid a few days ago....our house backs to an open space/greenbelt and there is a biking path and walking path back there.  At night and when we are not home, we confine the dogs to the kitchen as there is no carpeting in there and one of them still has some &quot;potty issues&quot;.  Anyway, they can see the people outside from the patio doors, which lead out onto the deck and they go beresk barking and jumping.  As the high school kids usually start walking the path around 6:00 a.m. (school starts at 7:00), we are awakened every morning by their constant barking.  A few weeks ago, I covered the lower half of the doors with black plastic, thinking if they couldn&#39;t see anyone, they would be quiet.  Worked in stopping the barking, but they bit and bit at the plastic until they ripped it off.  Then I tried putting cardbboard up, but they just shredded that.  As men think duct tape is the answer to everything, I decided to cover the glass on the bottom with duct tape.  Greg about had a cow when he came home from the office and saw it.  Now I know it doesn&#39;t look too pretty but I was pretty proud of myself for thinking of it, until he told me that as soon as the sun shone onto the glass and heated up, it would be an absolute mess.  At this point, it is too late to say &quot;now to make a long story short&quot;, so I will just finish what I have to say.  Our 2 dogs are maltese - they have very long coats, reaching to the floor - you can&#39;t see their legs, looks like a skirt of hair all the way around.  Anyway, Sadie was able to pull a piece of duct tape off the door that was about 3 ft. long and somehow proceeded to get it wrapped around her and stuck in her hair.  I tried to get it out but discovered it was going to be a 2 person job.  From about 9:00 yesterday morning to around 8:00 last night when Greg finally got home from the office, she spent the day wrapped in duct tape.  She had a small piece sticking out, so Bucky, our male dog, kept grabbing it with his teeth and dragging her around, which she did not find amusing.  Luckily, after much work, she is &quot;unwrapped&quot; now, and only missing a small amount of hair, which isn&#39;t at all noticeable.  It is my job today to go buy some contact paper and take all the duct tape off the doors and clean the glass of any residue before putting up the contact paper.  Ladies, when men say that you can fix anything with duct tape - do NOT believe them&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
