So happy to hear it. You know that all my animals now are "rescue" friends.
Personally, I can understand it when people (cough...my father) spends a mini-fortune to get a "purebred" dog but I'll take my good ol' Tennessee mutt anyday. BEST dog in the world (despite his occasional "munching" habits!).

While the vid doesn't look much like him THAT shot sure does! Markings on the face are almost identical! 
I hope you have the great friend I have here with Calvin. Just gave him a long brush-fest and he is now happily chomping on a biscuit filled kong. One of the best days of my life when he walked up my drive.

She's just the best, just worry about tomorrow with no one home for a while! Hope all goes well.

Lucy is as big as Bella was as far as hieght, but she is no skinny I don't think she weighs more than 25. Last 48 hours, I think she gained a few pounds and is leaving the biggest piles in the yard! LOL I hope to get her up to 35 or 40, whichever she looks best at. Right now she's so tiny I feel like I'm gonna break her if I pat her too hard.
So probably that speckling on both come from Bluetick, a familiar animal in these parts of the world. I can see beagle, but must be bluetick to get the marks, and she's not stuburn like a beagle! LOL

KEWL vid Spa!
Vet said that his best guess was that Calvin was some sort of beagle / birddog mix. Too tall for a regular beagle but still has the bark and digging tendencies (lunar landscape backyard, IOW).
As for your doggie gate, be creative...like me! (damned if that hound didn't chew up one of the clamps I had hooking it onto the stairs, though. Babygate in the doorway to my great room and this kept him from jumping the stairs!
Check out the innovation (and mess...thank you shoe muncher!).
