my lucky is 4 months old and sleeps in the laundry room with baby gates. i dont like his bed in there because its not a big room and his food bowl is right next to it and he eats in his bed (the crumbs in his bed drives me nuts!!!!!). i just have a thing about eating in bed

. i wasnt letting him sleep in my room because hes not fully pottytrained yet. when he's in the laundry room he goes on the pp pads but when he's in other rooms (even with pp pad) he has accidents. i want to buy a crate i could put in my room next to my bed but i think he will cry all night from being locked in. when we first got him we had him in a playpen in the laundry room.the breeder told us thats how she kept her dogs. but after about 3 nights of no sleep and constant barking and even a few complains from the neighbors we threw that palypen outside and bought babygates for the laundry room. and hes been cool ever since. but the room is to small to seperate food bowl,pp pads and bed. i read thats its not good to have those items so close to each other so i want to move his bed out but am afraid he'll crap on my carpet in my room

. when im at work i want him in the laundry room because i have an alarm with sensors in all the rooms so i dont want lucky to set them off and scare himself half to death

but at night i want him to be next to me. any advise out there. is it to late to change his bed to a crate and put in my room

?????
