I put Sadie in her kennel throughout the day for naps and she will lay right down and take one too! I think on average she naps maybe 3-5 hours a day, give or take. She is only 4 months old though. She wakes up at 4am when my husband gets up and goes potty outside then and then wakes me up at about 7am to go potty again. She stays in her kennel overnight still. I dont trust her yet to NOT be in it!
