Newt and Jules have the large kitchen/dining area. Mainly because Jules is a jerk and, if he feels another animal has wronged him, will pee on something in front of them (I have no idea...)
Goose is always loose. Nog can be left loose as well, he's generally just crated at night (he gets on the bed and, if the child happens to be sleeping there, will climb on him. This angers the child) or if I feed him before I leave. We do have to watch what we leave out, because he'll climb over all hell and creation looking for qtips...
Aesop is crated, only to prevent him bopping at a window if a neighbor dog barks. This may end soon, though, as his meds are working wonders.
Brooks..no....just...no, lol. He uses his tallness for evil and he also respects no gates, so I can't even leave him in the hall like I've done for other puppies. So, right now, crate it is. He's only 5 months though, so hopefully he'll grow out of the naughtiness
