Popper is sleeping on the bare plastic pan in his crate again tonight because he's successfuly ripped to shreds 2 queen size comforters and a crib mattress in two weeks time. The crib mattress lasted less than 4 hours today. The dang dog is not trapped in there. He just goes in there and starts the chewing and ripping. With the comforters I thought maybe he figured out the fluffy stuff was in there and it's kinda fun to play in..so I got him a crib mattress after seeing a few pics of danes sleeping nicely on them. Every time I give him something to sleep on, he destroys it. GRRR!!! I was just taking a shower! Sorry..I'm just mad at him right now.
