Well, I've only had him since Sunday. Tomorrow night will be my first night back at work since bringing him home. I've only left him home alone once so far (doc appt). I left him in my half bathroom for like 3-4hrs. He didn't seem to like that, and actually tried to run out the front door (it was cracked)
I have a crate thing. But, I think I may have bought the wrong kind. This is kind of small, almost like if he was going to be in a car. Can he be in that, or will that not be comfy for me being gone 8-9hrs?
I was thinking about putting the gate up, to keep him in the kitchen. Only problem w/ that is it connects to stairs that lead to the bedrooms (I'm in a townhouse). The entire 5 days he's been here, he's never once tried to go upstairs. Actually, I think he's afraid of stairs. We went on a walk the other day, and when I started climbing the stairs (only like 5-6) he refused and pulled away. I had to pick him up and carry him.
What's the best option? I want him to be comfy. But, I also don't want any accidents either. FYI: he has yet to have an accident in the home. He enjoys his sleep though
eta: In case anyone is curious, he is about 5-7yrs old.
