Congratulations on your new job ! ! ! !

I know it will be hard to leave Malone at home those first few days... Lordy the tears I cried on my way to work lol.. but Malone will be just fine and will be be so Happy to see you when you get home ! ! ! When you first let him out make sure you have yourself braced against something or he will knock ya down lol Tucker does it everyday !
From the way you talked about his crate , it sounds like you got him one like we got Tucker.. it is made for Great Danes and Tucker has lots of room to move around! We went through a lot of pillows and stuff like that and he just chewed them all up so right now all he has is a towel but winter is coming and I have found one that is SUPPOSED to be chew proof ! Ill let ya know.
The Web site it is on is....
