Burlap is Jake

Harvey Langley sent pictures of Jake and his new quarters. Jake gets to stay
in the house some and I know he loves that. He is out of Bonnie Sue Parker and
Radio Flyer--here is Harvey's message
Howdy Larry & Betty -
Just thought I'd send you a little update on our Jake (Burlap). He's doing great & really growing. Still doesn't like to be confined or away from us. We've been trying to house train him & getting him accustomed to being 'penned' up. He is of course, totally outraged & indignant at being 'treated like dog' even a pampered one. He cries & 'screams' like a kid having a tantrum when we put him in the pet taxi or in the new pen. Was going to have him spend his first night in there last night but I don't have a top or cover on it yet & was afraid that his 'crying' might attract aerial predators (owls, etc.) so we kept him in the carrier again. I'm putting a wire top & a partial cover over it today so tonight he'll spend his first night there. It is 4x12' & 'portable, but heavy enough that he (or other dogs, varmints, etc.) can't move it. Thought he'd settle down by now but he still wants to be with someone all the time. He's getting better & I'm sure he'll do OK, just may take a little more time. Here's pix of his new 'digs' -
