So I mentioned we'd been having some trouble with the crate.
We were gone this afternoon for 2 1/2 hours (to the first meeting of the obedience class we've signed up for; the dog will be coming with us for the rest of the classes, but the first one's just a lecture for the humans). When we got back, we found... well... remember that cute picture in the last post, with the plush toy? Like that, except with bits of crate instead of bits of octopus stuffing. Also he'd managed to unbuckle his collar.
I am astounded.
(On the plus side, he didn't chew on anything other than the crate.)

He does seem to be pretty smart, too, but this was definitely more of a brute force and repetition attack than a clever working-out of the precise actions needed.
