Doggie doors represent new opportunities - HeyBub - 2009-05-12 16:09:00

If your toddler crawls through it and drowns in an adjacent bog. You can sue 
the manufacturer (or installer) of the doggie door for not warning you.

"More than a hundred children have died or been seriously injured in the

pools or other dangerous places, new research has found. "

"a Florida lawyer suing a pet door manufacturer for the family of two-year 
old Matthew Ranfone."

Say what? Where were the parents when their two-year old was doing all this?

  My guess would be looking up attorneys in the Yellow Pages (r).

Watching American Idol ?

Use an electronic collar if you have pets, children, pets doors and a
pool. They door will only open as the animal approaches.

It keeps raccoons, bob cats, stray opossums and the neighbor's cats
out of the feed bowl.

Yeah, that thought leaps to mind, doesn't it.  There are products that can 
hurt kids without a parent reasonably foreseeing what might happen.  But 
installing a pet door (with a kid crawling around the house) and then 
ignoring the kid long enough for the child to get outside and drown--that's 
on the parent, not the company that failed to warn the parents to pay 
attention.

Everything is on the parent with kids that age, and always has been.
Thinking anything else is a good way to start clearing your genes out
of the pool.

If a parent leaves the regular door open a little and
the little tyke opens the door and crawls/toddles out,
is the door manufacturer and/or carpenter going to be
responsible?

How many people have woken to find that they have been 
patting a skunk all night. That came in through the doggy 
door.
