I didn't mean anything toward you specifically. I have seen numerous people talking about crate training. I just didn't really understand it and still don't, honestly. We have a crate and Sami sleeps in it too and is in it when I am not home. I am trying to change her over to being in the laundry room while we are not home, but the change is not working well. Anyway, I don't think anything bad about crate training or people who do it. I was just saying if I had to keep Sami in a crate and I was home, she would have a cow, lol.
