16 And now we have a new development. I work late so I tend to stay up late, my girlfriend goes to bed pretty early. The last three nights or so when I was coming to bed I walked by his crate and he let out a fairly vicious sounding growl and bark. Each time I call his name and that’s the last I hear of it. Initially I thought he was startled out of sleep and thought there was a stranger, but he should know my scent from that distance I would think, or at least understand that’s when I come to bed, since that’s what’s been happening since we got him.
