We got Higgins when we were staying in our little 17' camper in Florida last winter, so he grew up in a VERY small house. Gave up on the crate early because we just didn't have room for it in the trailer. He has always slept with us, as does our Pogo. It was really funny when we got home to our house in Maine.....Higgins was frightened by ALL THAT ROOOOOOOM! Got used to it quickly though. He has the run of the house and it looks like a two year old lives there with all the toys all over the place. Being spoiled with lots of toys has kept him from being destructive and chewing up our stuff.
Now we are back in our tiny trailer for the winter in Florida and both dogs are doing just fine. Don built in a little shelf so that Higgins can climb up on the beds/seats easily and he hops from bed to bed. We have twin beds in the trailer. At home we sleep in different bedrooms (we SNORE), and Higgins switches rooms/beds during the night. It's cute....like he doesn't want to play favorites......always careful to give us equal attention. Of course he knows that HE is the center of our attention! |
