dog door mats
Have you heard of these detterrent mats?

I am looking for a solution for my large breed (she’s an American Bulldog about 75-80lbs) dog’s need to be obnoxious.She is constantly barking and growling and putting on a show for squirrels and birds(sometimes people and other dogs) outside my patio doors .
I don’t mind her looking out of the windows in the patio doors. What bothers me is when she throws her self onto them and into a standing postion.
I was looking into purchasing a “scat mat” or “sofa scram” to put in front of the door to keep her from sitting or standing directly in front of or onto the window.
I also considered the motion sensor that makes some sound to stop her, but I really don’t want to be bothered with some constant high pitched wahling. Any ideas? Or have you used either?

Clear carpet runner/protector. It has bumps on the bottom. Place it bump side up where you don’t want her to sit or stand. You may have to tape it down to keep her from just grabbing it to move it.

I’ve used it in the kitchen to keep a counter surfer from being able to get close enough to the counters as well as using them around garbage cans (as needed).

Car Mats, Who Needs Em?

So who does needs em?

That is the question; if we died tomorrow we would never have known the answer. Life is all about living for the moment, let’s not make plans or save money or make preparations for anything else because it could all suddenly end. A girl I heard about recently died tragically in a car crash; the motto on her face book was “everything happens for a reason”.   What reason was that I wonder? It all suddenly ended for her, she was young and had her whole life ahead of her and in one instant it was gone.  It could all suddenly end- but how often does this happen? For a whole lot of us it never ends-it goes on perpetuating, boring, dull, and monotonous. Some of you live with spouses, others with your girlfriend, boyfriend, friends, parents and the very lucky ones are travelling around exotic places like Thailand taking in the views of Karon beach whilst chewing on a splif (Russian vegetable). Unfortunately for most of us, we wake up one day and life is all about car mats and park smart mats for garages. Prepare and be prepared for those little boring things in life that’ll really piss you off. Oil, break-fluid or green slime coolant stains, cat piss stains, the occasional dog shit and spew stains on the garage floor. Scratches and dents on the car because the person who you share the garage with isn’t very good at reversing out or parked too close to your car and dented it while opening the door. These are the things we should worry about in life, forget death! With state-of-the-art technology available today, parking is made much easier and why not start at home?  Problems that occur with double garages-where two cars can park side by side are solved. These new-type parking mats are so positioned to allow accuracy when parking-the driver simply lines up the wheels and drives on to them. 

With garage park smart mats your park life is suddenly made easier, there’s no more: so how far should I go in? Where do I stop? I’ll take a guess. This’ll do. Or can I open my door without hitting the other car?  What the hell, a new paint job only costs a thousand. Bringing us to the next gripe of conversation, how much does a new paint job cost? With the cost of labour nowadays, we are looking at thousands for a full paint job. Paint is the cheaper ingredient, labor costs big time. Going back to the “prepare and be prepared” anecdote, you could actually save yourself a whole lot of time and money by buying these iddy biddy smart park mats. Having a set of two car mats laid there will help with your parking and help prevent minor accidents, especially when reversing out.  And guess what! You can even find larger mats to park your car on. These mats will protect the floor of your garage, keep off the earlier mentioned stains and generally make your garage look a whole lot cleaner. These mats have a raised perimeter which will allow it to contain water-very useful if you don’t want your snow covered car to make a mess. You can even wash the car while it’s still in your garage.  As a conclusion to this article, a final note about life; death might not come in this lifetime but if it does let’s get ready for it.
