OMG I got a dog...

I crate my dogs when I am away until they are around 2 (depending on the sex and how fast they mature). I'd keep her crated for at least a month then leave her out for small increments and she how she does. When I had a boxer I remember very vividly the first time he was left out alone. I returned home and he had jumped on the counter, grabbed a pistol, and was chewing on the frame when I got home.

hahahaha, you got a dog!?!?!!! :lol:

Thats awesome that you rescued one, really, and she looks cute. Crate her, she will love the crate after a few mornings and you don't have to worry about her tearing stuff up. My dog just goes into his crate on his own when I'm pouring my travel mug of coffee (he knows its time). Congrats

Good for you going with a rescue dog. You saved its life.

We are firm believers in crating, but we kind of cheat. Every time we close the door on her in her crate she gets a small treat. Nothing big but something to reward her and reinforce the idea that the crate is a good place. She puts herself to bed at night, if we turn off the TV during the day she goes in on her own assuming we are about to leave, and she will even go in sometimes just to lay down.

If we have to be out for more than 4 hours however we will often corral her in the kitchen with some toys and one of her beds. I don't ever want her to spend more than half of any 24 hour period in her crate so the kitchen is a good alternative.

Welcome to the dark side MPF :D .....just keep in mind, have a lot of treats around....my dogs personal favorites are Pup-peroni, be prepared for a lot of face licking, and all in all general love...

On another note, unless you want Izzy to be a permanent guest in your bed, discourage her now from being able to get on anytime she wants.....had to learn the hardway and now I can't get one of the dogs to get off the bed no matter what I do, she thinks she owns the place :unsure:

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
