Hi Y'all!

I'm going away to Boston from Thursday to Monday and I'm leaving my 7 month old puppy,Boo Radley, with my family (mom, dad, two teenage brothers)

They have never had a dog before, or any animal, But I bring Boo to thier house about once a week, so he is familiar with them and thier home. They live on an acre or 2 of land in the burbs, very diffrent from my apartment in the city.

My concern is that Boo gets SO super hyper when he goes there. He will run in circles for 8 hours straight in the backyard and then pass out and sleep for 12 hours when we get back home.

I try really hard to calm him down while we are up there, but all he wants to do is keep playing. Is this normal? Isn't he exhausting himself?

I'm afraid that I am going to drop him off on Thursday night and he will play for two days straight before his body shuts down and passes out.

He is usually a pretty high energy puppy, but usually plays for 30 minutes, and then passes out for a few hours, and repeats the process until bedtime.

I don't crate him, or even own a crate, because my apartment is so small that it's not really neccasary for him in my opinion, so I can't just stick him in a crate and hope he calms down.

Any suggestions? Comments? Any important info that i should make sure I tell my family?

Thanks!
