So, I came home to this one lunch break... Apparently, he didn't appreciate the luxury of bedding. *Deep breath, calm thoughts..."
This is his "mommy i am so ashamed of myself" pose.
All I did is tell him: what were you thinking, you dumb puppy? Anybody know a secret to a pitbull not ripping his bed apart?

Hey great pics pixel...I see your in ATL that's not to far from where I am.01-16-09 09:54 PM - Yes, they have a brutal concience. The trouble is, like most small boys, it only kicks in after the crime to say "Look remorseful".All I did is tell him: what were you thinking, you dumb puppy?

My bedding suggestions are
Forget the foam padding, that's for lapdogs and show-pooches, not terriers and gundogs. It's doggy instinct to pull the bedding until it makes a comfortable nest so he needs something loose he can move around. The foam stuff doesn't rearrange easily, and all too often it's custom shaped to the bed, so the only option is a more "permanent redesign". The covering is too flimsy, and it makes such a satisfying sound when it rips.
A carpet offcut or sample square (the proper woven backed stuff, not foam) is a good base if you can get it, otherwise plain plyboard. Top it with one or two old towels he can arrange to his own satisfaction. (looking again at the photos, the cage already seems to have a solid base. Throw a couple of old towels in, and wash only when needed.)Last edited by branta; 01-17-09 at 07:09 PM.

Keeps them calm, teaches them to be house broken(won't[or at least try not to] soil where they have to sleep), and keeps them from tearing up stuff.Anybody know a secret to a pitbull not ripping his bed apart?

When I was in the Royal Navy on one ship I worked on we had some pens attached to the wall in our mess and the rule was, if you got hammered and fell asleep in the mess you were game for drawing on!
We used to draw on people then wait until 1 minute before muster time and wake the guy up, tell him that he was going to be late for muster and he would run up to the hanger for the muster with drawings all over his face, stand in line waiting for the CO's inspection! Amusingly the CO thought it was great fun too and would shout at the rating until he was a gibbering wreck!
Everyday on that ship was so much fun!01-18-09 04:12 AM - I suspect he's an "indoor dog" so he won't need much to keep him warm. He really wants something he can use to make his bed. Its all about instinct and ownership. As far as keeping warm goes while you're not looking, it's a real conflict between a place in the sun but on the floor, or on furniture but out of the sun.That's an awesome advice, thanks! It actually makes a lot of sense to give him some towels. *crossing my fingers*
