Uh Oh, Roxy that isn't good! Very brave of you to try Tonya. I don't think we have left Katie alone in the house at all. Except for maybe a 15-30 minute period when I leave for work in the morning and my husband is coming home from work on nights. Katie is always asleep though and has never done anything. Katies always knows the drill and always goes to her crate when we are leaving. Sometimes we have to coax her but she knows its her safe place. Funny though, when it is bedtime Katie sleeps anywhere she wants and has the run of the house but she never touches anything. I don't know if we will always have to use the crate but seeing how she is less than a year old I am not brave enough to tempt it.
