Will I ever have a closed door again?
Cooper is a velcro dog, and has a pretty strict open door policy. He is not a fan of privacy, and would like to be cuddling his people at all times. He's got a massive head and knows how to pop the door handle just right to get into any room he wants (cheap rental, can't make any structural changes). Locks, barricades, door stops, vacuums, hockey sticks, chairs, laundry baskets, and TV boxes have all proved useless. For context, I have allergies and sleep apnea, so I sleep in a separate bedroom which we try to keep hair and allergen free. Unfortunately, Cooper has decided I am his person. He will sleep with my roommate for most of the night, but somehow is always in my bed when I wake up. If I'm trying to play a game where I will be talking, I try to keep the door closed so my roommate can hear the TV, but Cooper needs to see both of us at the same time. We've had him about a year, he's a 6 year old rescue who is delightfully sweet and extremely well behaved otherwise.
