It was on the 2nd floor and the water ran through the air ducts down to the bottom floor. It was 11:00 at night but we still went to the neighbor and woke him up to borrow his shop vac. thank goodness for good friends !! If you don't already have it, get one of the older style kennels with the plastic body and metal bar "windows" and door for the dog. that may contain him better and not allow him to reach things outside the cage.
Good luck with your lil challenge doggie. ;)

I am wondering if perhaps one of those"Thundershirts" would give him a "safe" feeling. If you go to the website or call them., maybe they could help. Possible he is afaid of being left alone, is he ok otherwise?

On the other hand, I needed to dig up a dead tree. I yanked, and shoveled, and yanked. I didn't get it out of the ground until she grabbed a branch in her mouth and helped me pull. She was strong.

My last two toy poodles were 6-9 weeks old when I bought them and we worked 11 hours per day. They would have never thought to be bad in their all plastic carrying cages. I gave them a treat and they didn't care if I left or not. They slept in them at night also and anytime we left the house. It was their safe haven, it was also a safe place for them when they were pups. I do leave a radio on a talk station when were aren't home.
I was not going to replace anything because I had a soft heart and decided to get pets.
I hope you can find a good solution.
