Pretty much, Chipper just sleeps when I am not home, and we always put him and Tootsie in their crates if we are going to be gone, jut so there won't be any doggie accidents in the house.
One of the most amazing and unusual things that i discovered was part of my dog's secret life, was one summer when I had gone to visit my daughter (this was when I still lived in Idaho), and my husband was taking care of the dogs.
We had a beautiful blonde Shorkie named Fazoli. She usually liked being out in the yard in nice weather, and then came in later to sleep.
One day my husband called me and worriedly announced that when I came home, I would need to worm Fazoli. When I asked what had happened to make him think that; his reply was that he had found her out in the back yard, digging little holes and eating what he thought was dirt.
When he went out to look, it turned out that she was digging up ANGLEWORMS and eating them ! !
When I quit laughing, I explained to him that angleworms were much different than the parasitic worms that dogs get, and that it probably wasn't going to hurt her to eat one.
