so...the entire time Gus was in the U.S., we left him in his crate...because every time we turned around, he would be chewing something...whether it be our couch...our carpets...our throw blankets...the evidence is now stored in a Franklin Park warehouse...he was a puppy then...now, mr. gus is going to turn three in a few months...granted, he is still a nut(less)bag at times...but has definitely matured and calmed down a lot...
while over here, we keeped him in the crate for the first few months...then we started letting him loose in the little patio atrium dining area-ish thing that we have...tiled floors...nothing really there to destroy...and he had a little 8 foot square area to at least stretch his legs...
well, over the last month or so, we started letting him loose for a couple of hours at a time while we were out for dinner or a run or something...free to roam the entire flat...absolutely unsupervised...most of the time, he just sleeps anyway...in his favorite spot which is pictured above...
so, TODAY, we let him loose the ENTIRE workday (actually really "I" because i didn't tell m i let him loose because I knew she would say no...and if something DID happen, then I would get home from work before her anyway and would be able to survey the damage caused)...
But nothing happened...the flat was perfectly the way i left it...he greeted me at the door and i subsequently ran around to see if anything was out of place...and i went to the bed and felt the huge indentation pictured above and it was still warm...so, the picture above was basically the hole he makes for himself everyday...his favorite spot to sleep...
Congrats gus...you are a trusted teenager now...first time truly home alone...don't do anything that we will regret...trust is earned...and can easily be lost with a bite out of something expensive!
