Why are simple things so hard to find?

Gee, all I wanted to get were a couple of strips or barriers to put at the bottom of the doors in the room we use as Trixies playroom. There is a gap at the ottom of the entry oor, and the door to the closet, and it is a big enough space she can crawl underneath if she ses her mind to it.

Went to Home Depot. They had something on the order of what I wanted...for about $9.00 each..and they were too long, I would have to cut them down. They were metal!

So, I went to Linens and Things..figuringthey may have one of those draft blocking things...no dice.

I need something that wil attach to the door, that she will not be able to push or pull away from the door. She is tiny, but can move things easily when she sets her mind to it. If nothing else, she is persistant, especially if she gets a hair up her butt about escaping under the door.

So, I keep looking. Rick said, if nothing else, we can get two of the metal ones, and he can bring them to work to cut down to size. It wuld just be a matter of a few inches.

Oh well. That was my crisis of the day.
