Hi Sherry, Max is crated during the night. It is his safe little place, where he has his basket and blanket to sleep. He loves it. It is now nearly 8 a.m. and I don't have to open it up now, for he wouldn't come out of it. It is still dark outside. Not nice to go walking, especially not after the heavy storm of yesterday, a lot of branches and other rubbish on the streets and in the parc.
I only work on wednesday from 9-12 as a volunteer in the hospital and in that period he is crated too. He doesn't bother to go in, goes in his bed and is quiet. My daughter has several crates for her rescued dogs. The new ones sleep beside her bed until they are used to the new surroundings and then move further to the landing, the hallway and then the living to sleep. I have 2 cats, they sleep in the kitchen at night. When I am out, I wouldn't like cat-dog fights here, so it is also for safety.

I work as a teacher and my baby is crated from 7-11, let out and then crated 11-3 every day. She is also crated at night as I really don't want to risk her falling off my bed (a fall that would kill her). I hope I just misread your posting as I am pretty perturbed right now. I feel that my baby is safer in a crate then roaming where she could possibly get herself in trouble. I definitely don't want her going out via the doggie door to be prey for a bird. I feel like crating her is for her own safety and good. Sherry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
