  Great idea on the towel covering the sides and back of her crate.  That makes perfect sense.   And yes, I've got the radio there and ready to go.  My heart is going to BREAK on Tuesday!  
 Being that this is my first experience as a dog owner, I am suprised by how much similarity there is between this and having a newborn baby.   I was expecting the amount of work it is (a lot), but have been surprised by how much emotional bonding there is already.  I am full of worry, joy, protectiveness... all the same feelings I had when I had my daughter 7 years ago.   It's amazing how the emotions rush back!
 
 Thanks so much!
