A better gate

Dad build a better doggie gate for the cottage.

The old "gate" was a chunk of discarded wall panelling pulled sideways across the deck. It will held at one end with a hook and eye (fancy!), and at the other end it was just wedged into place behind the nearest rocking chair.

It was a temporary solution that we'd already been living with for two summers.

The new gate is lovely.

Spring hinges swing it closed automagically, and now Miss Maggie has more room to roam on the deck.  She'll also be able to see more chipmunks that she can't eat, which should be entertaining.

Thanks again, Dad, for the pictures!
