Trish,

My indoor only cat loves the garage also. He loves to sit in my car while it's parked in my garage. Last year the garage door was accidently open for about 15 minutes while my cat was in the garage. It was his big chance to hit the road. When I went into the garage and saw the garage door open and my cat laying on the garage floor just chilling, my heart lept into my my mouth. I quickly shut the garage door and said a prayer of thanksgiving to St. Francis, the patron saint of animals who kept my cat from escaping that day...

The original post has been more than answered, but I'm still amazed at the many posts wanting to change TV to meet individual needs. We aren't there yet, but we want the rules to remain as they are and were when we first fell in love with TV 5 years ago.

Asking questions helps us all get better educated, but wanting TV to be more "customer oriented" to permit exceptions to the covenants is something I hope never happens.

There is an old saying, "you can't have your cake and eat it too"!
