to keep Piper in a crate at night without her knowing that Rocky is not in one?
They both sleep in our room...on the floor with their beds...I couldn't imaging them not sleeping in our room...
And will they be OK if they are separated during the day? (8-5)...
I would like to keep them together in the kitchen...using gates..but Rocky is so used the the whole house I wouldn't want him to think he is in trouble or that he did something wrong...
As it is know...when Rocky wants a break from the "puppy" playing...he can go upstairs and relax...because Piper is too little to use the stairs...(she is 5 lbs, and won't get much bigger! Rocky is 11.5 lbs))
Should I keep them together in the kitchen and still leave the option there for Rocky to go upstairs? That way he won't feel as if he did something wrong...
Thanks!
