How are her bones going to grow without cow's milk? You mean she's never eaten bacon? Are you a communist?

Training. One of the best ways to pet proof your home is by training your pet to be his own enforcer. You may want to consider closing the door to pet-free rooms that store, say, your fine antiques, and, if you have a doggy or cat door, you can also train your pets to head out for potty breaks on their own. Hey, animals are animals , and trying to train every instinct out of them is a futile endeavor, if not cruel.
