January 31st 2012
So Courage had a rough night last night. He started barking and thrashing around his kennel when we put him to bed. He ended up breaking the kennel and escaping. He ran around the house and got a hold of one of my socks and shredded it to pieces. We put our dog Motard in the broken kennel since we knew he is well behaved enough to not try to escape even though is was broken. It took some rodeo herding skills to get Courage into the not broken kennel and a quicker hand to lock it behind him. This time we moved the kennels closer together and facing each other so Courage could see Motard locked up and clearly okay. That seemed to do the trick because he was quiet for the rest of the night. He follows Motard around the house like a little duckling. Everything Motard sniffs, he sniffs. If Motard lays down, Courage lays down.

Just sounds like he has abandonment fears - how couldn't he - and Motard is his guide to feeling safe. Could they sleep in a kennel together?
