I take her to work and she's not happy about being 'locked' up while I'm working. It's only a couple of hours (if she were home she would be crated as well). I'll have to be sure to take her fun places too or she'll associate the car with work. I'm trying to socialize her with people - so taking her to my part time job seems sensible (it's only 2 nights a week & every other Sat). It worked wonders for my Liza-but she didn't mind being crated. On Saturday Char gets to hang with me in pharmacy for 1/2 a day.
