no mat

me: When I leave for work tomorrow, I will take the mat out of the crate.
Tonto: No, he's been good. I think it will be fine. Just leave it in there.
me: ok

end of next day: dog, crate, small pieces of blue foam, bye-bye mat

It is so VERY difficult to like this dog. He's been nothing but trouble, hassle, and very costly.
