one of the reason's silk was pooping in her crate was it was to big...I switched to a smaller crate and no poopies this morning when I went to get her. She also did not whine and wake me up at 4am. I actually slept till 6:15am this morning. I started to take her food up by 8pm so she would poop before bedtime also. It worked she pooped last night around 10pm.
