thank you guys for the tips and advice. i agree, it is an awfully long time for my boy to be in a crate. makes my heart sad. there is not really another way to keep him from being alone, but i can take some steps to improve the conditions. the crate is actually pretty big, but not a whole lot of room. maybe i will just allow him to have free run in the bathroom? that would be easy to clean up.
i tried the chicken broth idea that was mentioned and that seems to work pretty well. i wonder too if the kong filled with peanut butter i am using at night could be curbing his appetite as well? he eats that up!!
any ideas on the aggression with others? not sure how to handle that.
again, thanks for the tips, information and advice! |
