I seriously laughed until I cried too. I'm so sorry for your problems with your little dog, we went through something similar this past spring. <br /><br />Your blog is awesome, I'm looking forward to reading all the achieves.Katie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805002273665354416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566978019766033796.post-19209618316902243082010-01-17T12:34:15.099-08:002010-01-17T12:34:15.099-08:00Oh Amy - I laughed until I cried.

I can't be too mad at him because he's miserable with the cone and won't fit in his kennel.<br /><br />Maybe after the baby is a little older, the dog can bunk in her room. Our dog loves the kids, and we put his kennel between our rooms so he can see into both rooms at night. That's when he's not druggedly peeing on my bed.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683621539060743740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566978019766033796.post-20474000228402087142010-01-12T21:25:31.267-08:002010-01-12T21:25:31.267-08:00Hi, Molly.

But back when Chickens was a puppy and we were crate training him in our condo, that's what our dog trainer suggested. They were very effective last resorts, thankfully not used often.<br /><br />And he's more doxie than chihuahua, and he's about 15 pounds. So his crate is bigger than the smaller travel crates. Our house is also very old, so the bedrooms are tiny. Interesting idea on the nightstand, though - I hadn't thought of that. We've basically already done that in the living room where the coffee table used to be!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761429930834859323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566978019766033796.post-61961376254911852682010-01-12T21:06:28.778-08:002010-01-12T21:06:28.778-08:00So you pet-owners might think, well, this is just ...<i>So you pet-owners might think, well, this is just a battle of wills with a stubborn dog. You just need to go all alpha on him, right? Show him who's boss! Squirt him with the water bottle, or rattle a can of coins, or some other training method to get him to quiet down. Yes, that's what you'd do normally. </i><br /><br />Um, no, that's NEVER what I'd think, for a sick or healthy dog. <br /><br />Honestly, how big can a crate for a chihuahua be? There's no way one couldn't fit in a bedroom. I've turned dog crates into nightstands where need be in order to fit them in bedrooms. I really think that's your best bet at this point.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228735227119427610noreply@blogger.com
