[quote name='corgilady']She is leaving because she is a child, and we have hurt her feelings. She loves Duck and feels that she would be abandoning him by giving him to a new owner.
Egg, what would happen if you left Duck in your room (not in the crate) for, say, one hour ? Would the room be destroyed? Would the carpet get peed on? what if you kept Duck out of the crate for a little at a time, building up to an hour? Then you could leave him out for a bit, and someone else (dad or housekeeper) could put him back up, for example, after you left for school. Or if your yard is safe for Duck, leave him in the yard and then let the housekeeper put him up. I think you will see less hyper behavior if Duck can get some exercise!
I really feel for you, Egg, and your predicament. It will be hard to resolve this situation, and it would be hard to give your dog up. :cry: You are very brave to go against your society's way of keeping their pets. You are trying to treat your dog in a more positive, loving way than the people around you and that is wonderful. You are [b]super![/b] I wish I knew more 13 year olds with your level of maturity! Good luck, no matter what you decide to do. :)[/quote]
