[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 270532, member: 6705"] We have a really, really well-behaved mutt. He had a crate when husband lived with BM in an apartment, but when they split he had the run of mother in law's house. So when we got a house, he moved in with us. Good pup. Very patient with the kids. The only real issue I have is him dragging mud into and drooling on my bed. However... About 2 1/2 years ago he caught himself on a bolt in the back yard and had to have 74 stitches. We put the "lampshade" on him. First coupld of days he was so drugged up he barely moved. Then he started trying to lick. We borrowed a soft-sided "crate" from sister in law (she works at a pet store)... By the next morning he'd chewed through the door. Since husband and I were both working at the time, we then shut him in the downstairs bathroom with food and water. Came home to most of the door frame missing (chewed) and him on our bed. Upstairs. Baby gate... Chewed through. Finally borrowed a metal crate from a friend. Ended up having to replace it because he (somehow) chewed through [I]that[/I] as well. Finally just got some mild tranquilizers for him until the stitches came out. We can't put ant-repellent spikes in the yard because he chews them up - surprised he hasn't poisoned himself yet. Little green army men? Snack. Plastic rulers? Oh boy! Not bored, just used to having the run of the place. He's got three cats to torture and who torture him back, and husband is home most days. If he feels secure in his crate, use it. He's not used to freedom and probably thinks he's going to get abandoned again. [/QUOTE]
