Bailey & Dozer are left home alone during the day if I have to work. I work part time (20 - 25 hrs/week) and most of my shifts are at night (when my fiance is home) but occasionally I will have to work during the day. When that happens, Bailey goes in his crate. Dozer has free roam of the house, but he's 17 months old and has been 100% potty trained for a year now. He's also over his 'chewing phase.' Bailey's fine in his crate (has never pottied in it) but I just don't trust him to have free roam yet. I would get an X-Pen but we just don't have any room for one |
