I live in the 3rd floor apartment of my parents home and thats where we (the dogs, Petrie, and I) spend a majority of our time.. So, I have steps outside going up to the 3rd floor.. It's a small porch type thing and I want to close it in so that in the spring and summer, I can leave the door open and let Petrie (and the girls) out to get fresh air but not worry about them running away, getting attacked, etc... There is lattice (sp?) around the front (that faces the street) and I was thinking of continuing it all the way around and putting a swinging door where the steps start to go down to the ground. I don't have pictures to describe what I'm talking about... If I'm confusing, I'll take some pics tomorrow..
