Thanks Pam, it is good to hear about your experience. I have to say I wish Bob would go hide like that! lol. To be fair though he has been very good about being locked in his crate for a couple or so hours these last few evenings, I know he uses his crate a lot, in a way it is his den, his secure place but being locked in is a different thing.
Ok, it has taken me quite a time to write this reply because Ebby is out of her self imposed exile and has been busy exploring again, and I have been busy taking pictures again! And watching where she was going, what she is doing. I wish she would decide where her resting place is! She tried the wardrobe thingy but Id left it unzipped so that wouldn`t do, the side of the bed, no good, ditto this side by me, the windowsill? no. I have just taken her picture lying on the chair, looks like she is going to settle for that for a while.
I think I will go check how these pictures have come out, then maybe post them on a new thread.
