[wemple2]

While we are home Winston runs the entire house...but while we are away, he is gated in the kitchen with his bed, a few toys and his water and food. This is for his own protection...not the carpets. He is 100% outside potty trained...never has an accident. But he does have hypoglycemic/seizures...so to preserve his energy/sugar, he is confined to keep him calm. It terrifies me to think he could have an episode while he's alone...I make sure he has eaten plenty before leaving him...and I also put a cookie in his bed. So far, so good...I am always literally thrilled to see him waiting to greet me when I come home. He is never alone for more then 4 hours...usually less, as my husband is able to check in on him throughout the day. Oh, almost forgot...he sleeps in our bed with us, I am a very light sleeper and can tell immediately if there is something wrong.
