Thanks!!! Teddy no longer imitates coyote!

I just wanted to give a quick shout out of thanks to Elaine, David Z., Tina and everyone who offered suggestions to quiet Teddy's mournful night howl.

I moved the carrier into my bedroom last night and he was perfectly quiet -- except for some crunching on kibble.

Good boy!

And thanks everyone for your suggestions. Please keep them coming. Sharing and commenting and giving advice is what Unleashed is all about.

Our furbaby, Han, is also a puppy mill survivor. We adopted him from a rescue who had crate trained him and told us to keep him in the crate at night as well. The same thing happened with Han as with Teddy!! We kept the crate downstairs, in our kitchen, and about a week after we brought him home, he started howling in his crate. The first few nights we left him down there and he would stop. But it got to the point where he was so upset, he was vomiting and having runny poos in his crate!! i would wake up in the morning to an incrediable mess!! We obviously banished the crate after that and let The Boy sleep upstairs with us.

Good luck with Teddy. i'm glad to hear he is doing so well =)

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
