Lady's a Champ


It's taken only three liver treats and a dozen regular treats but within 18 hours, I'm already comfortable in my new crate. (Thanks, Luka! You were right! But now my Mom's really mad at herself, she says her windows and doors would be in better condition if we'd done this three years ago. And she wouldn't have had to buy so many pairs of replacement shoes either.) I've been in it three times for an hour at a time. This last time, I went in by myself, without treats or without Mom asking.9/18/06 11:25am


But the cats have GOT to stay out, okay? Musta was the first one in the crate. In five minutes flat, she was inside and under the blanket. Toivo was next, her little-cat boy stretched out to cover the entire floor. NO CATS ALLOWED.

To really make Lady feel at home and close to you put one of your dirty socks in the crate. You can put anything as long as it has "the smell of you". good choice with the wire sides since Lady will still "see" all of the action when she can't take part physically.kk

That's good that Lady's gotten comfortable in her crate.

Our boys can also tell Lady that the crate when folded up makes a great block in front of doorways if doggy access to areas needs to be conrolled.

As happened with our den about a year ago when Jalo decided to empty the trashcan every time they were left alone.
