Nope, no dog park anywhere near us. Like I said hubby will be going today to get a crate and he'll have to get used to it. I have been putting him in the laundry room when we are not there and he has been good in there. He sleeps in the living room at night and this morning when I left for work the couch was fine. Sometime between the time I left for work and when hubby got up is when he decided to tear up the couch. He needs some discipline/structure and I am going to have to enforce to him that I am the leader and he is not. I tear up thinking up giving him up and I know in my heart that I can't do that. I will just have to work on him some more. Maybe I should get a bike and he can run with me.
