99% of the time, if we leave the house, Oscar goes with us. When he is left at home he is placed in his crate with a nylabone. In the past, when left out in the house, he has gotten into trouble. He thinks he is in charge of rewiring things has he has chewed a couple of wires to point of having them replaced
...but that was a very long time ago. I just don't trust him to leave him out tho...and he does not mind his crate...sometimes he will get in there on his own just to nap in a different place...funny dog! We travel a lot with our job so he can go with us no problem. He knows when I am getting ready to go somewhere too and become by tiny shadow...he hates to be left alone!
