Last night Palmer did good in the crate. He protested for about 5 minutes by "singing" for us before settling down, but then he laid down, slept all night without a peep, and did not make a mess in his crate. With all of our fosters, we start off with nothing in their crate until we can assess if they are destructive.
This morning right after our morning walk and breakfast, the boys wanted to wrestle!!! We chose to crate Palmer for about an hour so neither of them could get too worked up right after a meal. Again, he protested for about 5 minutes but them laid down and slept for over an hour.
