I know, it's a common solution and as much as I would love 2 dogs, I live in a 700 square foot studio and I am only allowed 2 pets: my dog and my cat. I think he will be fine. He didn't make a single peep in the video from yesterday and we'll see about tonight. I'm home all the time aside from when I work.
He'll be fine. Seems like he's already improving a lot. Re: crates, I don't like crates and don't even own one, but I think that until you know that he'll be safe in your home, I would continue to use it, if possible. It might not have to be for a long time, only until you know that he can safely manouver himself around your apartment. I also think that getting a second dog, especially at this point, is a huge committment. You're doing fine and so is Bruce.
Oh yea, Treasure enjoys watching trash tv when I'm not home, such as Maury who's your daddy and Jeremy Kyle
