Well, fast forward a few years later and Dexter is just over 3 years old and doing VERY well. He is no longer kept in his crate while we're gone during the day. We have a gigantic crate for him to sleep in since he is WAY too big to share a bed with on a daily basis. He's about 80 lbs or more now.
So with everything going so great....why not get another one?
I want to keep this as a log of how our training with his little sister (Hera is her name) goes.
We just got her yesterday.
She'll be 8 weeks on Tuesday.
Night 1: Put her in the crate around 9:15, she woke up at about 9:55 and cried/howled/barked for a good 15 minutes. She eventually settled down. I let her out around 1:15 and then she slept pretty good straight through to just before 6 am.
Day 2: A few minor potty accidents but took her outside as we caught it and got her to finish up outside.
Tomorrow I have to leave her in the crate while we're at work until I come home to let her out on lunch. I have puppy mommy anxiety!
As far as how the two of them get along?
Smashingly!
