Usually when I leave Charlie during the day, I gate him in the kitchen. I know he has come to hate this and as soon as I get home, he stands by the gate with a bone in his mouth waiting to be released into his house.
So last night, in a moment of craziness especially since I just had my carpets cleaned, we went out for the evening and left Charlie LOOSE! I did gate the two stairs and closed the bathroom door. We came home to a perfectly content doodle who probably spent the evening sleeping on the couch.
He just turned one last month so I'd say we've reached a new point of maturity. He still likes his crate at night though.
I'm finally starting to not come home without the "I hope they didn't do anything bad" look on my face...haha...we always see the boys laying together on the front couch (through the front window) when we get home.
