I Thought I Knew

We have had two other puppies in the past.  I thought this puppy I would be better at this.  I'm not.
I am so confused about crate training etc.  I have read multiple things about it.  One thing will say you can't crate a young puppy the other thing will say crate your puppies at night.  You know what, I don't think it matters until the puppy is old enough anyway.  We are totally changing the strategies.  I have the top off his crate and I'm feeding him in it.  We have it in the living room right now and he's sleeping in it.  I have totally re-arranged the laundry room and moved our pantry cabinet so I can reduce the size of the space that we will keep him in at night and when we are at work.  The space will accommodate his bottom part of his crate and give him room to potty as needed.  A little more manageable size than what we blocked last night until he gets bigger and needs more room and or we can crate him.

 Buster on the other hand is totally stressed out.  I think he would run away from home if he could.
He is having a real drool issue.  Puddle of drool on the couch cushion.

 Nothing turns a house upside down like a new puppy.  Needless to say, there hasn't been much stitching.

Have a great Labor Day.
Keep on Stitching
