Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode where Kramer put a screen door on his
apartment and then lawn chairs, a barbecue, and other stuff out in the hall so
he could be living the suburban life?  

That's what we're doing.  We now have a very classy, flimsy screen door where
there used to be a door leading to an office and a bedroom beyond that.  All we
need to do is bring some lawn chairs in from outside and the grill and we'll
have our own little patch of suburbia in our hallway.  It's "latched" with a
bungee cord and a hook to another door in the hallway when we're not in those
rooms and we pull a little rolling cabinet in front of it when we are in those
rooms.  Not quite the nice set-up Mary had for Duffy and Holly.  Initially,
Marbles managed to squeeze under the opening about 15 seconds after it was hung
so Tony had to re-hang it lower.  Now there is about a 1 inch opening at the
bottom which Marbles still is trying to get under.  

So far Scottie and Abbey are under the bed and haven't even ventured out to see
it.  I wanted to have them all swap places today but I'll have to use the
vaccum to scare Scottie and Abbey out while having Marbles confined in the
bathroom and I haven't felt like doing that yet.  More trauma for them.  

Ugh, I hope this works.  I was emailing the woman from the rescue group about
our integration today and she offered to take Marbles back.  I hope it won't
come to that.
