Dear Schroder,
I know that, as a seven pound dog, you really DO fit most places in the house with ease, and because you are so smart as to be a service animal, you can even go most places when we go on trips to help, so you're almost never alone. But we don't need you on duty all the time, and so when we leave you at home because we're going to the mall or dinner and have the audacity to put you in your (giant, well supplied, comfy) crate, that doesn't mean that we're never coming back or that you're being punished? Why, then, do the neighbors think we have some small medieval torture device we put you on when we leave? I didn't think that much noise could come out of a dog that small!
