I adopted Blue in Feb '04 when he was 4 or 4.5 years old and crated him the 1st year when away from home. The last 4 mths of the 1st year I began to gradually leave him out of the crate while on short trips, thus we learned trust.

He has plenty of toys and bones! He gets a new one monthly! The vet says he has the cleanest teeth!

I'll need to set aside that mom and dog time!
