Hello,  I am completely frustrated at Shadow.  For some reason, the last 3 monthing I have awaken up to him, content in his crate in the back in a ball with pee pee in the front.  His crate isn't that big, but he can stand up turn around and lay down.  Shadow is a little on the long side for 7 months, but his crate is comfortable and the right size for him.  Another thing is that I feed him and take him out in the mornings (I'm at my boyfriend's house for a few weeks), he will do his business, but then when I leave for work... my boyfriend gets up and lets Shadow out.  Takes him for a  hot 2 minutes walk,  Shadow pees, but then he brings him inside and leaves without putting him in his crate.  He comes home from breakfast or whereever and Shadow poops on his title floor.  He says it breaks his heart to see Shadow in his crate.  I told him that dogs need discipline and that he needs to let him stay in his crate when I am at work.  He is pissed at my dod for being a dog... and not following my advice.  I am doing everything for his cat (taking Zertec for my allergies) and he can't oblige my Shadow. What gives?  I'm just pissed right now.  I called him back and told him to put Shadow in his crate and that I'm coming to get him when I get off work and we are going home.
