cuddles is now roaming free. i had fenced in the kitchen area with access to outside via a doggy door (actually a cat door). however, these days he has grown so much that he now can climb over the fence! there's no containing him anymore. as much as i want to keep him contained, that's not reality. gone is the tiny puppy. now i have a crazy teenager. i just hope that the housebreaking lessons will stay with him. that he remembers to go to the doggy door when he is away from the kitchen. i hope that when he is upstairs, he holds it and makes his way downstairs and to the doggy door. i don't have the confidence. i don't want messes all over my house. one step at a time but it's such a big step.
