Life With A Dog That Hurts Himself

So I know it has been awhile since I've posted and I'm sorry for that but here goes one.

So we thought we would be nice parents and give Max the entire bathroom to roam and put a baby gate up instead of putting him in his kennel. Well...apparently he still freaks out even in that large of a space! The first day he somehow knocked the gate over and was out when Ray got home. The next couple of days he had obviously scratched at the gate but hadn't gotten out. Then one Saturday we came home from running errands and we came home to a bloody dog! He had clawed and chewed the gate up so much! So when he was chewing the gate his nose was going through one of the holes and it got all torn up! So we tried to take the gate down but he had moved it in such a way that it was hard to move so he was freaking out and he knocked his water bowl over in the midst of Ray getting him out of the bathroom. INSANE!! So here is a photo of his nose a couple of days after the incident. It was all bright pink and bloody that day and this is after it has healed some. Then the gate where you can kinda see his chew marks and all the blood on it. So needless to say, Max isn't going back in the bathroom. He has been good so far with leaving him out but who knows how long that will last!
