Thanks Darlene, I need to make some of these this year. I like the last one, great idea, now to figure out how to do it!

I have some that the previous owners of the house left, they are made with a sturdy courderoy material and filled with sand. Nice, except for when the dog chews one up

MESSY!

I wonder if rice would work? I think it's a little cheaper than beans and less messy than sand.

Cat litter? Just don't want them to get wet.

Well, I've got no sewing ability, but I did order 2 of the double stoppers!

I just use an old blanket that I cut into pieces long enough to put in front of the doors, and roll it up... It seems to do the trick... I do need to make some more of them though.. Thanks for the links...
