she is basically ruling the house here. does she eat and drink at night when she's sleeping in your bed? probably not, right? give her a finger of nutrical before putting her in the crate, tell her good night, and that's that. some people put the crate in another room, others keep it in their bed room, some even raise the crate to bed level so the dog still feels like its up on your bed with you. i understand that she's a light weight but this shouldn't make you not want to crate her. she's got to learn that she is not the boss.
