Amazing what a boring life we led before Eli! I got back from the gym this AM having left Eli in his crate, and the girls in the den. Came home, greeted the girls, opened the den door to the hallway, and there stood Mr. Elijah, tail wagging and oh-so-happy. I thought OMG!!!! What destruction has he wrought??? :cautious: I must not have completely latched the crate door. :rolleyes:

Trail of toys down the hall, he raided the toy box and scattered everything. My husbands clothes on the living room floor, a coat hanger that had been on a chair, my hubby's shoes scattered, the dog mats on the carpet all scrunched up. I searched for pee or poop, but found NONE. ( I have a lot of carpet, woe is me.) My nice UGG boots were also transported into the living room.

But the bottom line? NO DAMAGE! None! And no accidents in the house. I took him straight outside where
he promptly peed and pooped for me - what a good, good boy! The only damage I could find was a chewed up paper napkin he fished out of the bedroom trash can.

Feel like I dodged a bullet! (y)
 
You definitely dodged a bullet!

And maybe Eli opened the crate door? Spirit knows how to get out of her crate. I padlock it shut if I have to leave her in it. Maybe just add a carabiner to the door?
 
You got lucky even at 1+ year Angus Eats Everything is not allowed out at night. Besides no sleep I think half the room would be eaten. He still steals one remote if I leave the room.
 
GOOD BOY ELI!
I know you understand that mom loves you and would never want harm to come to you...
So, moral of the story! STAY in your crate young man!

That is one for the record books!
Never had one escape from the crate!
 
Man, I realize I got really lucky with Fill after hearing your stories! I think baby gates came down before he was 1. He just doesn't have a destructo mode. (unless its a bully stick or a cows ear)
 
I also want to join :lol::lol::lol::lol: - perhaps there could be a new member come by :biggrin2:

I have never had one of my puppies in cages or in baby fences :no:
they have had access to my kitchen when I have not been home, with a baby door to the living room.

At night in the bedroom, little puppies in my bed
Once they could jump down, they found themselves where they would be.

When I have been home they have been with me in the whole house from day one :yes:

All been clean very quickly, and actually never destroyed anything of importance :fl
paper it could become atoms in no time
