So glad your baby is ok. I hate to say that I side with hubby on this one. Not only is there the expense and aggravation of the repairs but there is also the possibility that it could have caused 1. a fire to your home, 2. death to your yorkie. That's why crates, puppy-safe rooms, etc. are the best thing for our babies when we're out. This is not meant to be mean or anything, just really concerned for those who think that by containing their babies when they are away they are somehow hurting them. My question...would you leave a human toddler left unattended/unsupervised in your home while you're out? Just my humble opinion.
