Well this morning i'm a very happy lady

Since hubby decided Flash was to big to sleep in our bedroom only because he used to get in bed and i would cuddle the dog more than hubby :lol: Flash has been sleeping downstairs in his crate.

I been leaving him out of his crate when i take the kids to school and pick them up etc just to see if he would behave and he had been fine but that was only for 10 -15 mins so the other day i left him with free run of the house while i went shopping so he had 1 1/2 alone and did nothing

So i bit the bullet last night and i decided to leave flash out of his crate in the living room on the sofa .

Hubby got up for work a 5.55 so i dragged myself up expecting to hear screams from hubby taht flash had eaten the carpet or sofas instead i walk downstairs flash is in the same spot on the sofa as when i went to bed and hubby sat watching tv at the other end lol

He such a good puppy he is now 10 months old and i know i can safley leave him with a free run of downstairs while i go out makes me feel so much better than crating him.

What a good boy. We rescued Pip who had far more issues that we at first realised and I came downstairs one day to find the laundry room door almost chewed off its hinges but the worst was when she completely ribboned a sofa. The fabric was literally hanging off in great long ribbons. She has also dug through the arms of a chair and eaten numerous shoes including a brand new pair of school shoes and trainers. Silly me for leaving them out! Poor old Pip will be in the crate for some time to come. o

Flash is partial to nice fleecy blankets, shoes, tiolet rolls and teddy bears oh and nearly forgot pens i find alsorts hidden away in his crate Strange thing is though he steals them while we are about never does anything when we are not there lol.

That coulld be because i aways make sure theres nothing for him to steal while we are out though

Just need get him stop digging in the carpet and jumping up to greet everyone and thinking someones here new plaything and stealing food the last one i do not hold much hope on achieving. :b

Rex also digs in the carpet - what a strange habit! He's 9 months old and mostly can be left and things remain undamaged. Likes chewing wood though (chunks for our log stove) and we normally find the rug covered in shredded wood. Had great fun this week with a large piece of polystyrene packaging - looked like it had snowed! :b
