Dear Heloise: My hint is for people who have storm or screen doors where the top section can be removed. This past Halloween, my mother’s dog tried to get out every time she opened the door to give children candy, so she came up with a great idea!

She removed the top screen from the screen door so she could keep the door closed while she handed the candy out through the top opening. It’s an easy way to keep your dog inside and the children safe as well. – Sara, New York

Dear Sarah: Love this pet-friendly hint, and I bet the dog does also. The top section of the screen or storm door could be kept off permanently to make it easy to answer the door without the chance of Fido getting out. - Heloise
