We are getting soft...

We've been letting Dakota in the house at night.  Only one incident that sent him to his kennel.  One of the kids brought a bowl of compost stuff and put it on the laundry room counter top.  A few moments later we heard a crash.  Dakota had gotten up and pulled it down off the counter.  It was only avocado peels and pits so I doubt it was worth getting kicked out of the house!  One night he stayed the whole night and did great and was still laying there when Kevin came out in the morning.  There is hope for him!!!!
