Finnegan has been crate trained...and he has just trained himself to let himself out, when he feels like it.
Today, believe it or not, we put a brass clamp thingy on the cage...I kissed him and told him to be good [leaving him with toys and his food in a kong toy [as someone else suggested] and when I got home, he had somehow chewed the pin to the brass clamp out, and was merryly playing in the house again. I am off to get a Varikennel tonight. At least yesterday's scolding must've done some good...no destruction [other than the brassss hook!] He's quite the guy!
