Ahhh Byron, the joys of a puppy <eg> About 10 years ago I discovered the proper use of a crate! Leaving a puppy unsupervised is sorta like leaving a 2 year old kid (without a diaper on!) unsupervised in a gift shop. I know what my house looks like if I spend an hour or so online during the day. By the way, how'd she do after her chile-theft incident? If anyone on the list wants some info on crate training for dogs, email me privately. Peace and Peppers!
