Hi Katie

Things are much better now!! Monty slept from midnight when John went to work until 6.30am this morning when I let them both out before putting them back in crates so I could shower, and they were both quiet.

I walked Monty to school with James and then we had a play on the green with a rather nice black labrador who was up for a little game.

I bought some large meaty bones yesterday and when I went to work gave them both one each for there crates, Monty went in on his own ok and started to go at the bone until I left when according to John he barked then stopped for half an hour and then barked until John let him outside. Luckily John isn't at work now until Sunday so we have chance to work on the daytime.

Yesterday every time he flaked out I picked him up and put him in the crate and he quite happily crashed out in there until we leave the home, he sensed that you've left and gets upset about it, when you go back in he stops and goes back to sleep?

Now we are letting him out more often he has started peeing before Molly and we have not had so many accidents!! I think he deserves a medal myself, he hasn't been home with us a week yet. We have booked a puppy romp on Saturday morning 10am so let's see how he likes that . . .
