The puppy is roaming the halls of the private residence at night? Why isn’t little Bo crate trained? I have always had a dog; and never let a pup just roam, unattended at night (too much they came get into). So...why no crate?

Ok, PaMom started it. CrateGate!

What you said.

My dogs LOVE their crates (or "dens"). When they get a treat or a nylabone, they run to their crates to gnaw on it. Of course, there is the problem that the younger dog prefers my Big Dog's crate to her own -- "No, Ruby, that's Shelley's crate!" and she'll slink back to hers. They're identical, except that Shelley has a sheepskin over her crate bed . . . but Ruby chews on the sheepskin so she can't have one. She does have a waterbed under her crate bed because otherwise she rubs the fur off her 'keel'.

I can't imagine having an active young dog without a crate.
