Oh, I know that's not the intention and I saw no one really doing that.... I'm just talking from past experiences from what I've read here in response to other people's questions. That's why I even hesitate to respond to posts like this one. I feel that I'm in the minority here (at least not many people are speaking up from my side) that Tatum gets crated for longer stretches than some. It may not ever be anyone's intention to criticize someone asking this question that Lexi Rae is asking but for those of you that have the joy and privilege of spending all day with your babies, sometimes it comes across that those of us that can't are not such good mommies. I guess it's not much different that the "stay-at-home mom vs. work-outside-of-home mom" debate that never ends.

What it comes down to is that I could see that she is feeling guilty for having to leave her pup and wanted to ease some of her concerns by showing her that there ARE other people that have to do the same. And since we seem to be in the minority, she may not hear that side of the issue.
