Well Chase does well at night in his crate, but I found out he hates being in his Xpen if I'm at home. This morning after letting him out I decided I'd take a little nap, so I put him in his Xpen with a few favorite toys and went upstairs. Well, you would have thought I had abandoned him on the side of the road. He barked like he was crazy. I figured this would stop any minute, but it didn't. I ignored him but he went on and on and on right up to the time I had to get ready to leave the house. So I started to get ready and all of a sudden the barking stops. I figure he tired himself out and he's taking in his little 13 week old mind a well deserved nap for a job well done
. So I continue to get dressed. I come down stairs and who should meet me with tongue hanging out and literally smiling and tail wagging was my little angel
so happy at what he had accomplished by escaping his perceived prison. I was speechless, I wondered how on earth did he figure out how to scale his way out and I know he had to fall from the top. But no injuries, and he was so Proud of himself. I read on this site about people putting a sheet or cover over the top for their escape artist so thats what I did so I could leave the house with some peace of mind that he wouldn't kill himself while I was away. You can't believe how relieved I was to hear him bark when I pulled the car into the garage. HE survived (whew!)
