He hardly ever goes to the bathroom in his cage. The only time he will is when he's left in there all day and he has no choice. When I come home from work and walk him, he's fine and there's no problem. This poor dog can't hold himself for 12 hours! I doubt any human could do that!
That's a great idea GP...asking to buy the dog from him. I'm thinking that once my bf moves out that I might do that. I would love to take the dog. When me and my boyfriend are there, the dog is always taken care of properly. He gets food, water, baths, walked on a regular basis, and (most importantly) he gets love and attention. The problem is when the bf goes out of town for a little while.

I know that I could provide that dog a much better home than his roommate can.
