This weekend I finally got to encounter the true nature i've been hearing about.  My g/f and I decided to housesit for her mom this weekend so we brought Jax.

After settling in and letting him run his energy out, or so we thought, we put him in the crate in the bathroom for a couple hours so we could hit a birthday party.

Poor guy must have been terrified of the new place because this is what we can home to.



Luckily he only broke about $300 worth of stuff and the crate.  If we left him in the house there probably would have been much more damager and a couple of dead cats.

This is what we received yesterday.  Shouldn't have the problem again....

The funny thing is, he's perfectly fine at home.  He goes in there regularly to sleep.  Any tips to make him comfortable when we have to bring it to some place new.

Holy shit that is a $600 crate! Ya'll are nuts. Lol.

I'm not sure about getting them used to being crated in new places. Mishka does fine. I mean you can always leave treats or kongs or something with them.

Haha only on the site, Costco had it on sale for over $100 off. I figure its good for longer car rides if he can't be out and about, and it will last his entire life. I hate doing things twice as is...so i just bit the bullet. Kongs will definitely be in the equation next time.

Omg... Even the tray was torn up!

Lycus actually had his first escape yesterday and destroyed the house. Luckily nothing of worth.
