Sheila ,

Thanks for recommending the Dog apartment ! ..........greatest thing since peanut butter.

  It is always used at night.   I added a larger cushy bed outside their apartment where,

 when I have to go to the grocery store they lodge outside of the apartment with a big

 bowl of food and water in a big bathroom w/a potty pad. Closed bathroom door but a

 skylight and size allows them to be not as confined without and probs if I am detained. 

 All the pre-planning paid off.  Even found duck stuffed thin rawhide chicken basted 

"taquitos" for encouraging chewing/rubbing that tar tar off.
