I only crate my girls at night, I tell them night night time, and they all hop into their crates... I get worried about them because if I don't crate them, they jump into bed with us, and I can't sleep thinking me or my other half will roll over on one of them
. During the day they have free reign though... If i do need to put them away for a while I will either put them in their crates, or into another room...
