Updates: Kentucky has been amazing being kept out of his crate at night with us. He sleeps and plays quietly.
HOWEVER, He is the master at escaping from his crate during the day!! I now have tried every brand of wire crate around, including pad locks and zip ties and he still gets out. He has gone through two bras, papers, sponges, a blanket and a whole carpet in my bedroom (I will let him off that one though because he was actually sick). Everytime I walk in the door I brace myself for distruction but no matter how scared I am but am welcomed by the cutest face in the world. How can you be upset at those faces?
He is only 8 months so I don't trust him out of the crate fully yet.
Any suggestions??
