We're going to have to teach the puppy to read

Today we were at the pet store getting some basics for the new puppy and talking about options for how we can gate off areas of the house that will be "safe" areas for the puppy. We can gate off some of the doors with baby gates but the wide opening, with the folding doors, between the grown-up living room and the kids' playroom is going to be a problem because the kids never manage to keep the door closed. The kids' playroom is going to be the worst situation if the puppy gets loose because of all the small toys in there.

Jake: I know Mommy! We can put a sign at the door to the kids' playroom that says "No puppies allowed!" and then the puppy won't go in there.

Me: But honey, the puppy can't read.

Jake (crestfallen): Oh...
