Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to keep him much longer. I love him, and get on with him great, but he's not a good fit for my household.
He gets along well with the other dog most of the time, but not so much with the children. Despite all my efforts trying to crate train him, and curb his destructive behaviors, it's just been getting worse. The past couple days, he destroyed all the pillows on my bed, a blanket made for me by a family member, my shoes, the cord to a guitar amp, 2 pairs of drumsticks, a PS3 controller, the charger for a family member's iPad, and my headset.
Having to bring him back is not fair to him, but keeping him is not fair to the others who live with me, and it's also not fair for him to be the target of constant anger. He's essentially still just a puppy.
