good news: M is ok
bad news: the inevitable happened, he fell out the doggie door
good news: he has cat like reflects and caught himself with his arms instead of landing on the cement on his head
bad news: i don't think he was scared enough by doing a handstand out the door that he may think it was fun and want to try again
good news: mom and dad were right there, i was outside with the dog, he was watching but wanted to be outside too, not just peering through the hole. I picked him up and his eyes were big as saucers and he whispers "hi". his new favorite word. "hi" was not what i was thinking.
good news: again, M is ok and it didn't equate to his first ER visit
bad news for M: we will have to keep the slip on the door

point of reference for you- it's a big door. (i've actually come through it at the old house when i locked myself out)

proper use of the door
