Kilo's settling in nice! We're off to the vet tomorrow for a check-up and his first vaccs.
I tried to crate train Apollo and failed miserably, so I'm not the person to ask for advice. I know they say to let them "cry it out" but Apollo would carry on forever and work himself into a frenzy. The biggest rule is that a dog can be crated for no more hours than they are in months of age (so if Grendal is 2 months, no more than two hours a day in the crate, and so on).
But yeah, Apollo was horrible about the crate so I gave up and gave it to Kurt's brother (who just got a new puppy). He peed in there, he was so upset, and then he'd splatter his pee everywhere when he jumped... ugh, it was awful.
