Dog sentenced back to kennel
We went over to my sister's house tonight for dinner and we came home we found that the dog had ate the entire ziploc bag of jerky that my husband had made and then accidently left out (he had intended to bring it over to my sister's house). So that was partially my husbands fault and partially a naughty dog getting on the counter to get it.
But the worst was that the dog has also went into the arms reach co-sleeper in our room and literally had dug everything out of the top zippered part of my breast pump bag and had eaten one of the membranes and chewed up one of the valves. This is the 2nd time he has done that and after having to already replaced one of the flanges and membranes I have had enough of allowing him free reign in the house anymore.
He was good for quite awhile but over the last few months there have been little things here and there that he would get into so we have been very cognizant about not leaving anything out.
So it looks like he will be back in his kennel again when we are gone. No more days of sleeping on the couch while we are gone for him. Also, since I have grown tired of there being dog hair on the sheets and in the co-sleeper where DD#2 sleeps I told DH that I am banishing him from the bed as well. I already don't allow him to sleep on my side of the bed since I got pregnancy again but when he stands up on the bed and shakes his hair gets everywhere.
For those that have your dog sleeping in your room at night (this way we can keep an eye on him still) and not on your bed nor a kennel -- do you have a dog bed on the floor or do you just have your dog sleep on the floor? I am trying to decide if I need to purchase a dog bed or let him "rough it" on the carpet after 7 years of him sleeping on our bed.

Re: Dog sentenced back to kennel
We have so many babygates for our pets that we didn't need any more for LO! We gate the dogs in one room when we leave, have a gate to keep cats from coming upstairs and one for keeping dogs out of basement (where the cat food/litter is). And I consider our dogs well behaved.
We didn't introduce the crate well, so the one dog hates her crate (after 3+ years of fun crate experiences), so it's better for us to just confine her to one room with her "sister".
