Any red flags?

Is four hours of crying ok in the pen though? Would it be better to crate him during the day rather than the outside pen? Considering he settles quickly from what stories we’ve seen.

His toilet schedule is around three hours. Neither of us can leave work to deal with Bo on that schedule. We have made contact with dog sitters for visits. We can’t let him play date with friends yet as he’s not fully vaccinated.

We’re also discussing the idea of moving the crate to the bedroom at night to cut down on the cries. Minimal soothing directly with Bo, but at least he can hear and smell us.

Bo has three months of our full attention, then baby comes along. The sooner he settles the better.
