Shad's getting the boot

Once the baby is born, Shad is going to be an outdoor dog. =( He is a big dog and when overly excited, he can potentially be dangerous.

This is a picture of him all nice and comfortable in his crate in the family room on his bolster bed. He's going to hate being outside.

I think we are probably going to have to slowly wean him outside. He'll be fine during the day, but I think he'll have problems during the night. I'm guessing he'll bark and whine non-stop until we come downstairs to get him. Hope the neighbors won't call the Human Society on us like they did with Brandon.
