Hi, Julie and Peter, Your Rudi looks blissed out with his favorite toy. What a clown! He is growing into such a handsome pooch. I am curious about the gridwork on your porch. Is that to protect the screen from the dog? I would like to leave the doors to my attached greenhouse and screened porch open so the dogs could go there at will but there is too much floor to ceiling screening in those two areas to risk it. I am thinking that your setup looks like it would work but I have not seen anything like that protective gridwork before.

Margot, we have a screened porch two (well, there’s about 1 foot of wood paneling at the bottom, then the rest is screen to the ceiling). There were times where Nikon almost went through. What I did was take an expen, remove the gate section and mount that against the screens above the wood paneling. So we could still see out but then if the dogs ever charged at something they wouldn’t go through the screen.
Thanks, Lies, for a very good idea. I have 3 expens that I use all the time so I will have to look for an expen sale. Also the span of screening between posts is 6 ft. and 8 ft so I will have to think of some way to keep the expen from being pushed into the screen and ripping it if a dog(s) jump up in the middle of the span. Sigh – It is such a lot of trouble to retrofit but the dogs would spend most of their house time in those rooms if they had the chance, especially this time of year.
I love the photo of your 3 cats – they looked like they really enjoyed their time in the sun without the doggies.

I had the same problem, the expens still hitting the screen. They did help visually, the dogs no longer charged after animals b/c they could see the expen. However, there was one panel where Nikon was always putting his paws up when I was outside, so I did put a rod behind the panel to prevent it from touching the screen. I didn’t perfect it because I actually took it down (when I got my van I wanted 3 crates in it, so I needed the crate Nikon sleeps in and instead made him a half ex-pen in the bedroom so he can stand/sit and have more room to sleep but still can’t chew the bed as he was doing out of the crate). Another thing that solved my problem is that now that I put up the fence, the porch door is propped open so they have no reason to charge or jump up on the screen when they can just go outside. Luckily my cats don’t really care about going out and stay indoors or on the cat tree (which I forgot to tell you that someone made and gave it to me. He had to move and was saying he had to get rid of his cats so I took them rather than send them to the shelter. I found them new homes but no one wanted their cat tree so I kept it. It’s not very pretty but cats LOVE it, it has several platforms and boxes, a carpeted climbing ramp, scratch sisal, etc).
I should have called you this morning when I attempted to post. I got through, unless I’m the only one viewing my post (wouldn’t that be too funny!!!). Anyway, why when I replied to Margot did my crazy bunny monster icon go to the right and the @Margot didn’t go away? I’m wondering if your reply will be the same as it came up when I hit reply as @Carole. I backspaced and now I’m typing. My reply to Becky was fine, I think, hmm… JH

@Margot, the aluminunm sheets are screen door covers and I find them in the screen door department at ACE Hardware. There are a variety of sizes so measure before you buy. This pattern is called Union Jack and they usually have several sheets in stock. Beware it is expensive, at about $25 a pop, but easier than continually replacing the screen and the dogs don’t bother it. Be sure to install it with stainless steel screws and it can be trimmed with tin snips.
We had to install the bottom panel when our Rottie, Hilda, was a little puppy. She would come through the bottom half. Rudi seems to like the upper section and we will replace it as soon as the mosquitos arrive.
Yes, Rudi is a clown and loves his ball. Peter

Aw Rudi you are so adorable! If we had a porch like that I’m sure we would have problems with Schumi tearing it! He has torn a hole through the screen at my parent’s house. One little scratch was all it took!
Hi Becky! You know it’s funny, Rudi doesn’t try to bust out. We make him sitz, then I give the command wait (should learn it in German) and I open the door. He is not to go outside until I say OKAY, same routine coming in. This is working pretty well. BUT, he wants his outside toy inside. We keep it on the porch but he insists it should be available to him at all times! Thank goodness the mosquitos haven’t come in full force. JH 🙂

JH- We make Schumi sit before going in and out too! He’s pretty good about it. When he was at my mom and dad’s house, we were eating dinner so we made him sit outside on the porch, which was just so terrible for him. So he tried to let himself in, hence the hole in the screen! He only does it when we are at someone elses house…. 😉
Julie and Peter, you are true dog lovers! Just the kind of homes I like to see the babies in! I love looking at these pictures, that dog is showing happiness with every part of his body.

This an old pic of the porch (before the carpet was put down). Where the cat has her paws, that’s where I set the expen and then held it on fixed to those posts that go up.

Not the prettiest solution, but a free solution!

Woo-whoooo Julie H has figured out how to get pix on the blog!
Mr. Rudi is looking mighty fine—Kayla will be happy to see him.
