Caged!



So our perfect little dog Rush hasn't been quite so perfect. He has never had a potty problem indoors or anything like that, but he is a very active dog so when he is left at home all day he tends to get bored. This means that our Christmas tree, power cords, spaghetti noodles, bathrobes, etc are no longer safe. All of the doggy proofing in the world has not been able to prevent Rush from getting curious and clever. We both finally had enough so we went to the pet store and spent $80 and got him a kennel. We tried to get him comfortable with the idea of being trapped all day, so all weekend we've been putting him in there a little bit at a time. We even got in the cage with him so that he would know there was nothing to be afraid of! I couldn't get a picture of it, but at one point all three of us were in the cage and we actually fit! It really is sad to leave him trapped all day in such a small space, but we have given him sooooo many chances! He brought it upon himself!
