I have a crate on a coffee table next to my bed, so the crate is even with
my head, so she can see me at night...never had a problem with her sleeping next to me from day one getting her...I have another crate in our
entryway that has a x-pen attached to the sides of the crate, for when I am in our office which is right next to the entryway...she goes in there when I am working.....I have the front door open so she can also see out...I also have the kitchen babygated, so most of the time we are in there during the day if I'm not working....I have a TV in the kitchen so it works pretty good, she has all her toys in the kitchen with peepads. I don't trust her yet to have a free roam in the house...we have too many outlets and wires and stuff, when I have to go to the store, I put her in her crate...(she doesn't like it, but at I feel secure that she is safe)...seems to work for us...but someday I would like to get her out of the two rooms..Oh and I have a bed in one end of the crate that is real plush and I also put two of my worn T-shirts in the crate also, so it always smells like me...the crate is a medium (30"L x 22"w 24" high)...so she has plenty of room to stretch out at night...she wakes up at 4:00 am never fails, so I get up and immediately take her to her peepad, then go back to sleep on the couch with her on my stomach...till 6:00 am.. |
