Responsibilities

Crash: Morning: He wakes up when you wake up, but he'll ask to go out around 8am. If you want to sleep in, he'll usually jump right back into bed with you. We feed him half a portion of his daily food in the morning. Behavior: He's very energetic. He will always want to play, bringing you toys often. He likes 30 minutes walks and enjoys longer hikes, as well. He's generally friendly with most dogs and likes to approach every dog that passes. This can obviously cause problems, so you would need to be careful with dog interactions. He's a dog's dog. He hates cats and the postman. He will bark his head off if he sees a cat and will attack the mail when it comes through the door. We have to move the dog to another room if we have to answer the door for a package. When a new person comes over, he gets very excited. He may jump up for the first few seconds but if you ignore him upon entrance, he will sit down to wait for a pet. He likes to chew up napkins, socks, and hard bits he finds on the ground (like pens or plastic tops), but you can ask him to "drop it" and with some reluctance, he will. He won't steal food off your plate, and he loves a treat. Naps: He reflects your behavior, so if you're lying in the couch, he'll likely do the same. Night: At night, he eats the other half of his food portion when we eat dinner. He starts sleeping around 930. If we're watching TV, he'll sleep near us. We'll tell him it's bed time, and he'll be excited to go to bed. We take him out, and he sleeps in our room. He's likely to start off in the bed, he may sleep on or against you, but he has his own beds he moves to at night. We like to keep the door cracked, so he can move in or out. Otherwise, he'll scratch the door to have us open it if he wants to wander while we're sleeping. Plants: My plants are downstairs in the main areas of the house. I just water them every Saturday and they seem to stay alive. Emergencies: If something happens to Crash, our vet is a 10 minute walk down the street. Their 24/7 emergency clinic is about a 15 minute drive. We have an account with the vet and pet insurance, so he should be covered for most things. We will leave instructions with the vet if something has gone horribly wrong and worse decisions are to be made.
