My dh suggested putting him in the kitchen...I do not TRUST him not to claw up the oad cabinets. We HAD used one of those gates, he jumped over within 5 minutes - then I put the second one above it - he got over---- it was nearly 6 feet tall!! He is skin and bones - I wanna know where his muscles are! He is "hercules, hercules" I MAY put his kennel outside (maybe he can dig up some of our Missouri rocks!)
