Well, don't let them sway you. Miss Maple likes her kennel; all I have to
do is say "kennel" and in she goes (well, I have to point her in that
direction first). Sure, I will leave her alone with Torrey to go get the
mail and stuff like that, but anything more than a few minutes and its into
the kennel, where it is safer for her and for us. She sleeps all night in
her kennel, never barking to get out. As a result, we sleep all night!

Our first Golden Acer did some damage cause we didn't take it as seriously
as we do with Miss Maple. Also consider that according to Gina, you still
have some of the worst teething months to come. Did we tell ya about our
friends who have Dazzle, and the hole in the drywall? These are months you
want to be able to put your pup in the kennel and not have to fight about
it.

My two cents ... Hey, Miss Maple, where are you? Whats that you have in
your mouth ...
