Chesterton, Chester for short. From GK Chesterton, a prolific writer and journalist.

http://www.chesterto.....-this-guy/

This absent-minded, overgrown elf of a man, who laughed at his own jokes and amused children at birthday parties by catching buns in his mouth, this was the man who wrote a book called The Everlasting Man, which led a young atheist named C.S. Lewis to become a Christian. This was the man who wrote a novel called The Napoleon of Notting Hill, which inspired Michael Collins to lead a movement for Irish Independence. This was the man who wrote an essay in the Illustrated London News that inspired Mohandas Gandhi to lead a movement to end British colonial rule in India...

It's hilarious -- the little guy loves playing with the cat. He *loves* it. I'm not sure what he would think of cows.

Fitting in well. Trying to balance where is in the crate whenever he is in the house vs taking him out for a few minutes for play. The kids are a little gun shy to take him out inside to play with him due to accidents. He is getting better and so are we. 

Open to any tips you all may have.

as soon as you take him out of the crate take him right outside, should cut down on the accidents, every time you put him in the crate say in, he will associate the word in with going inside, Layla can be all the way in the back field chasing the cows and as soon as she hears in, she bee lines it right for the door

Good to know. He doesn't like going in his crate -- he doesn't seem to be very treat oriented. Good point about the repeated use of the word 'In'.
