I'm definitely glad to hear this! We've had to lock up Josie since she was a Teen too. She's a year old now, but still when we try to leave her out at night, she's constantly trampling across the bed, walking on us, sniffing our faces, racing up and down the hallway (she sounds like a bull) . . . so she has her own room. And I'm hoping that once we get the two together, Brodie will stay with her!

So three years locked away? Hmm . . . I was wondering when Josie would be calm enough to leave out at night. Seems like she does alright the first night, but after that, she gets WILD! Too much freedom drives her nuts, LOL
