Dog Ownership 101 Poll.

Say you had a large but immature Great Dane who was well known for shredding things (diapers, plastic bags, paper and such) when left unattended. And say you were planning to be outside all day working on a project that did not allow the dog to roam free in the yard with you and also kept you so occupied you would be unable to check in on the dog frequently to check up on the gnawing, chewing and shredding master left in the house. And say your wife and children had been sent off to Portland for the weekend so the dog had no other oversight while you were out. Which option makes more sense to you while you worked outside?

A. Leave the large and destructive dog loose in the house with all sorts of shreddable clutter within easy reach.

B. Keep him in his crate where he would eat then crash out for a long happy nap with his snuggly blankets and favorite soft toy until you let him out and could supervise him.

If you answered A and are 1) not my husband 2) not under some sort of psych hold at a hospital 3) not a dog hater who left the dog to roam free in hopes he would choke on something, please explain this answer. I want to understand what in the name of all that is good and holy possessed my fabulously smart husband to do just this so I got to come home to a "confetti" filled house after my trip to Portland. Anyone? Anyone? Yeah, I thought not.
