He always proved to be trustworthy. If anything, he's worse when I'm home with finding things to pick up and chew when he's bored, etc, but when he's alone (or if I'm not home and others are) he just sits in the window sill.
We did the crate thing very briefly as a pup (3 weeks maybe) and then graduated to an ex-pen but it didn't really last long. Our family has generally just been a 'dogs are loose' kind of family so it's what I know. |
Same here, Alfie sleeps in the living room so it is his territory. He has free access to all of downstairs apart from the bathroom and can get upstairs but I close the bedroom doors.
Our neighbours say he sleeps on the windowsill most of the day ( they all look out for him in his cute jammies) and goes berserk when the postman and window cleaner come.
We play ball every morning and he just jumps right into bed for a nap when he knows it is time for us to go to work.
He is right there on the window sill waiting for us to come home every day, he is so funny when he sees us, he sort of crouches down like he is scared and then jumps from the sill onto the sofa onto the floor to greet us and has to get kisses from us both, then he knows he gets his jammies off, gets a quick brush, harness on and off to the park for plying ball again.
