So last summer my dog decided that it would be a good idea to try to pounce on the mail lady through the window and she broke my double pane glass. Only the first pane is broken, but you can feel that around that window is actually colder than it should be because of the glass being gone. I have not had the money to go out and buy a new window, but I have to do something before this winter because it is so bad for the energy bill. When I do get new windows I would like to get casement windows put in place of these, but I am trying to find something that would cover them so that my dog cannot break the windows again. I was thinking about even maybe putting up a baby gate vertically over them.

I know that I need a window replacement before November or so, and I need to start shopping in order to find exactly what I am looking for. I really like Andersen windows so I will probably go with those, but I have to find something to keep the dog off before I spend money on new windows!
