Over the last few months Rosco has been really great with Chance and with all the changes that have come in the house. He doesn't always get walked at the same time everyday and he doesn't get as much attention as he used to even though we try. He sleeps in his cage every night and we put him in his cage when we leave the house. Not because he is destructive but because he is so powerful that when he does get a hold of something even though it is rare he destroys whatever it is. Used to when we wanted to put him in the cage you would have to get a hold of his collar and drag him into the cage. He uses passive resistance and would just sit there or lay there and let you drag him. Over the past few months though he seems to understand that I can't always drag him. Sometimes I need him to go in the cage and I am holding Chance so he has started going in the cage all by himself. I just tell him to get in the cage and he goes. Rosco is a wonderful dog. He licks Chance's feet and smells him but then just goes about his business. Today, when I told Rosco to get into his cage he walked away from me, I told him to get in his cage again and evidently he didn't want but he knew I couldn't chase him around the house so instead of running around he hid. In the bathtub. I've never seen him get into the bathtub all by himself (you have to give him a boost when it's bath time) but today he just hopped right in and sat there looking at me.

That's hilarious! That's the hardest I've laughed all day - and I laughed A LOT today. Thanks!
