New Old Dog likes his crate very much. When we go upstairs at night, he tucks himself in. He also rests inside when I use the elliptical trainer nearby.
Tiny Dog is far more tolerant of the "interloper" in the house than I thought she would be. As long as he remembers that she is IN CHARGE, all will be well.
New Old Dog has a hearty appetite, and looks worried if we try to move the plate before he is done. I think perhaps he had competition for food in his prior life. Do not worry, New Old Dog, you can take your time and eat all you need.
