I Love the idea of being able to watch them.....would love to do that. You did the best thing to make sure he is safe for the time being. His crate looks awfully small though for him to be in all day.
I know you are looking for a better solution for tomorrow. Good Luck!
For the future, I bought this recently & Bella really loves it. It folds up into a neat and small tote when not in use.
