Well the puppy turned over his food dish in his cage, so I HAD to take him out. I took him outside and he crapped right on the path my brother walks at night. Then pee'd, then we came in and had Derick time/food time while I cleaned out the crate. Then we went back outside once more and crapped on my brother's trail again & pee'd again. I shouldn't have warned my brother, but I did anyway, for I'd rather not hear my mom bitch about feces tracked into the house.
He's actually QUIET now. Before I put him back in I stuck one of my used bath towels and a t-shirt in his crate, because they say having something in there that smells like you will put them at ease. Apparently it works, he hasn't made a peep for a good ten minutes since I put him up.
